Uncertainty modeling and visualization for tsunami hazard and risk mapping: a case study for the 2011 Tohoku earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This study presents a rigorous computational framework for visualizing uncertainty of tsunami hazard and risk assessment. The methodology consists of three modules: (i) earthquake source characterization and stochastic simulation of slip distribution ...

TSUNAMI PRESSURE ON STRUCTURES DUE TO TSUNAMI INUNDATION FLOW [PDF]

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings, 2014
Inundation depth, velocity flow and resultant Froude number of tsunami were investigated both experimentally and numerically. The bottom roughness is a key factor to estimate the inundation flow of tsunami. Pressure profile acting on 2-D vertical walls and 3-D structures due to inundation flow of tsunamis were also discussed.

The MATSim Network Flow Model for Traffic Simulation Adapted to Large-Scale Emergency Egress and an Application to the Evacuation of the Indonesian City of Padang in Case of a Tsunami Warning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The evacuation of whole cities or even regions is an important problem, as demonstrated by recent events such as evacuation of Houston in the case of Hurricane Rita or the evacuation of coastal cities in the case of Tsunamis.

Combination of school evacuation drill with tsunami inundation simulation: Consensus-making between disaster experts and citizens on an evacuation strategy

open access: yes, 2020
This paper aims to introduce an effective methodology for communicating a science-based tsunami risk scenario to non-expert citizens through consensus-making between disaster experts and non-experts, with the aid of four-way split-screen movie clips ...

A Possible Tsunami Deposit Associated to the CE 1755 Lisbon Earthquake on the Western Coast of Portugal

open access: yesGeosciences, 2020
The CE 1755 Lisbon tsunami was the largest historical tsunami to affect the Atlantic coasts of Europe and North Africa. This study presents the results obtained from the application of different sedimentological techniques (e.g., grain size, morphoscopy,

Uncertainty quantification of tsunami inundation in Kuroshio, Kochi Prefecture, Japan, using the Nankai–Tonankai megathrust rupture scenarios

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020
. Nankai–Tonankai megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis pose significant risks to coastal communities in western and central Japan. Historically, this seismic region hosted many major earthquakes, and the current national tsunami hazard assessments in ...

Evaluation of tsunami inundation in the plain of Martil (north Morocco): Comparison of four inundation estimation methods

open access: yesNatural Hazards Research, 2023
The Alboran Basin may be subject to tsunami hazards. If such an event were to occur, it is expected that the urbanised and densely populated areas of northern Moroccan coastline would be affected.

Is flow velocity important in tsunami empirical fragility modeling? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The influence of flow velocity on structural damage induced by tsunami inundation is investigated to improve empirical fragility models considering flow velocity as explanatory hazard variable in addition to inundation depth.

Application of a Real-Time Tsunami Forecast System to the Disaster Response of Local Governments during a Major Tsunami Disaster

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
We applied a real-time tsunami inundation forecast system to a disaster response plan. We developed a standard operating procedure (SOP) for a tsunami disaster response based on a Plan, Do, Check, Action cycle to effectively use tsunami observation and ...
