Recognizing Our Role in Reframing Disaster and Emergency Management Terminology to Enhance Human Agency and Responsibility

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract This work addresses the critical issue of science literacy and science communication for scientists, researchers, officials, organizations, and the general public. Effective communication and trust between these groups are essential, particularly as the severity and scope of disasters continue to increase.

Variational Autoencoder Transfer Functions for Onshore Tsunami Hazard Curves

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation
To quickly estimate tsunami hazards along the coastline, we present a data‐driven transfer function method to reconstruct onshore tsunami hazard curves from offshore hazard curves with corresponding topographic and bathymetric data. The transfer function

Tsunamis in the Mediterranean Sea

, 2020
The Mediterranean area has been inhabited since long time and the development of human settlements along its coastlines allowed to “record” the occurrence of natural disasters as tsunamis in different coastal settings.

A formulation and a metaheuristic approach for the clustered vehicle routing problem with d‐relaxed priority rule

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 3714-3743, November 2026.
Abstract This paper investigates an extension of the vehicle routing problem in which, in addition to minimizing the distance traveled, the sequencing of customer visits is subject to precedence constraints that impose visiting priorities among customers.

TSUNAMI HAZARD IN NORTHERN VENEZUELA [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2006
Based on LANDSAT ETM and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data derived by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM, 2000) of the coastal areas of Northern Venezuela were investigated in order to detect traces of earlier tsunami events.

Mass Fatality Management in Crisis and Wartime Conditions: Institutional Gaps in Civil Emergency Preparedness

Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, Volume 34, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Mass fatality events represent one of the most challenging consequences of large‐scale crises and armed conflicts, yet they remain underexplored within crisis management and civil emergency preparedness research. While considerable attention is devoted to immediate life‐saving response and critical infrastructure protection, the management of ...

Observing Broadband Tsunamis in Deep Water Via Distributed Acoustic Sensing

Geophysical Research Letters
Tsunamis have been detected as strain variations in optical fibers of submarine cables through distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). However, the usefulness of strain variations during tsunamis for early warning remains unclear.
