Real-time tsunami inundation forecast system for tsunami disaster prevention and mitigation

Journal of Supercomputing, 2018
The tsunami disasters that occurred in Indonesia, Chile, and Japan have inflicted serious casualties and damaged social infrastructures. Tsunami forecasting systems are thus urgently required worldwide.

Welfare consequences of the compound risks of index insurance

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract Index insurance is an attractive variant on the standard insurance contract that allows the determination of a loss event to be defined by one or more thresholds on an index that is positively correlated with actual losses. Index insurance also comes with a compound risk, basis risk.

A Model for TSUnami FLow INversion from Deposits (TSUFLIND)

, 2015
Modern tsunami deposits are employed to estimate the overland flow characteristics of tsunamis. With the help of the overland-flow characteristics, the characteristics of the causative tsunami wave can be estimated.

Tsunami inundation, sediment transport, and deposition process of tsunami deposits on coastal lowland inferred from the Tsunami Sand Transport Laboratory Experiment (TSTLE)

Marine Geology, 2018
The processes of tsunami inundation, sediment transport, and deposition on coastal lowlands are investigated experimentally. We conducted large-scale experiments with land slopes of 0.00 and 0.01 and compared them with experiments conducted previously ...

Banking Development and the Economic Impact of Natural Disasters: From Short to Long Term Effects

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how financial development and local banking structures shape the economic resilience of communities in the aftermath of natural disasters. Focusing on Italian municipalities hit by earthquakes between 2008 and 2022, we explore the role of banking presence, particularly cooperative banks, in supporting recovery.

Nonlinear processes in tsunami simulations for the Peruvian coast with focus on Lima and Callao [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
This investigation addresses the tsunami inundation in Lima and Callao caused by the massive 1746 earthquake (Mw 9.0) along the Peruvian coast. Numerical modeling of the tsunami inundation processes in the nearshore includes strong nonlinear numerical ...

KAJIAN DAERAH RENDAMAN TSUNAMI DI PESISIR TELUK LAMPUNG AKIBAT PERUBAHAN TOPOGRAFI GUNUNG ANAK KRAKATAU DI TAHUN 2018

JGE, 2020
The eruption of the Anak Krakatoa volcano (GAK) in December 2018 caused part of the body of GAK to collapse into the sea and caused a tsunami. This avalanche also caused changes in the topography of GAK.

Fragility assessment of a RC structure under tsunami actions via nonlinear static and dynamic analyses [PDF]

, 2017
Current guidelines for design and assessment of buildings under tsunami actions do not explicitly state how to apply tsunami loads to buildings and which analysis methods to use in order to assess the structural response to the tsunami loads.

DEFINITION OF TSUNAMI INUNDATION LIMIT BASED ON PROBABILISTIC ANALYSIS OF TSUNAMI RUNUP AND INUNDATION DISTANCE

Coastal Engineering Proceedings
Tsunami inundation maps provide information on the extent of the inundation and flow depth, which may be used mainly for evacuation. In addition, the Chilean National Service for Disaster Prevention and Response (SENAPRED for its name in Spanish, and formerly ONEMI) has designated all areas located higher than 30 m above sea level as safe zones (Zamora
