To evaluate the validity of NearTIF method, we perform a retrospective forecast test for the 2011 Tohoku tsunami along the Sanriku Coast from the Sendai Plain to Miyako City, Japan. A methodology to optimize the design of an offshore tsunami network array is presented, allowing determination of the placement of sensors to be used in a tsunami early warning system framework.

In this report we attempt to provide an overview of the existing methods of tsunami risk assessment. This methodology was developed in order to evaluate the effectiveness of a risk-reducing system against such hazards, also aiming to demonstrate that a risk assessment is possible for these episodic events.

Therefore, tsunami-resistant design of these superstructures is crucial. approach, no well developed common methodology or guidelines to assess tsunami risk. This paper presents a methodology for tsunami risk assessment, which was applied to a case study in Kamakura, Japan. A new study in Geophysical Research Letters uses a model for a subaerial landslide-generated tsunami as one single continuum, a fusion of debris flow modelling and tsunami … Los Angeles County hosts two of the busiest container ports in the United States. This study provides a novel methodology developed for bridge superstructure design under tsunami loads and aims to help bridge design professionals better understand structural behavior of bridges during tsunamis.

The ports are adjacent to one another in San Pedro Bay but are operated separately by the cities of Long Beach and Los Angeles. Here we introduce a novel methodology for Near‐field Tsunami Inundation Forecasting (hereafter, NearTIF). We propose a methodological approach for a comprehensive and total probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment (TotPTHA), in which many different possible source types concur to the definition of the total tsunami hazard at given target sites. Applying the GIS methodology for local tsunami risk assessment to the 2011 Tohoku event R. Frauenfelder, C.B. The assessment of tsunami hazard and risk is therefore an important issue that must be addressed to identify and quantify the risk to populated areas and property.
