Numerical LAST-MILE Tsunami Early Warning and Evacuation Information System (“LAST-MILE – Evacuation”)

Kurzfassung

The structure and aims of the joint research project "Numerical Last-Mile Tsunami Early Warning and Evacuation Information System (“Last-Mile – Evacuation)" is introduced in this paper. The prospective goals are highlighted in consideration of the organisational structure consisting of academical and industrial research partners. The joint research project focus on highly resolved geodata and earth observation techniques in order to accurately simulate wave dynamics, run-up and onland flow. Finally in-depth recommendations on evacuation procedures might be available in the future for the city of Padang based on the hydrodynamical studies and evacuation simulations. The presented results in this paper underline the effectiveness of the interdisciplinary work.
