Testing Tsunami Inundation Maps for Evacuation Planning in Italy

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Inundation maps are a fundamental tool for coastal risk management and in particular for designing evacuation maps and evacuation planning. These in turn are a necessary component of the tsunami warning systems’ last-mile.

SPATIAL MODELING OF TSUNAMIS AND TSUNAMI INUNDATION ANALYSIS OF “PANJANG” BEACH IN BENGKULU CITY, INDONESIA [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2022
Modeling the potential for tsunami inundation at tourist sites is required as a disaster mitigation effort. Spatial modeling through the application of Geographical Information System (GIS) is a method that can be used to assess the potential for ...

Assessing transportation vulnerability to tsunamis: utilising post-event field data from the 2011 Tōhoku tsunami, Japan, and the 2015 Illapel tsunami, Chile [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020
Transportation infrastructure is crucial to the operation of society, particularly during post-event response and recovery. Transportation assets, such as roads and bridges, can be exposed to tsunami impacts when near the coast. Using fragility functions

REAL-TIME TSUNAMI INUNDATION PREDICTION USING OFFSHORE TSUNAMI OBSERVATION [PDF]

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2011
The previous real-time tsunami prediction based on the inversion method and the linear superposition can predict the tsunami in near shore area quickly, but it can not predict the tsunami inundation. The present study developed the empirical formula to estimate the overflow rate from the tsunami profile predicted by the previous method.

The damage effect on the structural capacity of school building columns due to tsunami inundation in Banda Aceh city after 16 years [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2022
The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami caused catastrophic damage to buildings and infrastructure in Banda Aceh. The impact and damage depended on several factors such as the distance of the area from the coast.

Identifying tsunami traces beyond sandy tsunami deposits using terrigenous biomarkers: a case study of the 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunami in a coastal pine forest, northern Japan

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022
The distributions of sandy tsunami deposits do not reflect the true extents of tsunami inundation areas, leading to underestimates of inundation by past tsunamis and thus the magnitudes of their associated tsunamigenic earthquakes.

Childcare Center Evacuation to Vertical Shelters in a Nankai Trough Tsunami: Models to Predict and Mitigate Risk

Challenges, 2022
Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, vertical evacuation shelters (VES) were constructed to reduce tsunami risk. Childcare centers (CCs) in the inundation area are required to evacuate to the nearest VES in the event of a tsunami. The study aim was

Tsunami Inundation Prediction

Coastal Engineering 1976, 1976
This paper concerns the run-up and inundation characteristics of tsunami surges. The forces and moments produced by the waves are not discussed, however, the proposed technique does provide the necessary information for their determination. The method relies on the knowledge of the wave elevation at the coast (as determined from historical data or ...

Physics-informed neural networks for tsunami inundation modeling [PDF]

Journal of Computational Physics
We use physics-informed neural networks for solving the shallow-water equations for tsunami modeling. Physics-informed neural networks are an optimization based approach for solving differential equations that is completely meshless.

Variability of Tsunami Inundation Footprints Considering Stochastic Scenarios based on a 2 Single Rupture Model:Application to the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake [PDF]

, 2015
The sensitivity and variability of spatial tsunami inundation footprints in coastal cities and towns due to a megathrust subduction earthquake in the Tohoku region of Japan are investigated by considering different fault geometry and slip distributions ...
