Author: E. N. BERNARD | Size: 3.55 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2005 | pages: 186 | ISBN: 1402033532
This issue is organized into four sections: (1) a summary paper that gives an overview of the NTHMP with reference to papers in the issue for further discussions, (2) four papers on warning guidance that detail the development of a tsunami forecasting capability and upgrades in tsunami warning operations,(3) two papers on hazard assessment that describe the development of tsunami inundation maps and their use in tsunami warnings, and (4) five papers on mitigation that describe the concept of tsunami-resilient communities. Two innovations of the program are to create a tsunami forecasting capability and to introduce the concept of tsunami-resilient communities. Combined, these innovations constitute a major advance in tsunami hazard mitigation for both local and distant tsunamis.
