Devastating damage by the 2004 Indian ocean tsunami and their lessons for mitigation in the future Fumihiko Imamura, Prof. Tsunami Eng, Director of DCRC, Tohoku Univ. Mechanism of tsunami generation Predicting the propagation, runup and inundation of tsunamis Mechanism of the earthquake and tsunami Damage in Sri Lanka and Indonesia Photos, videos and imagination with CG tools F.Imamura, DRCR 1
Earthquake induced tsunamis Tsunamis can be generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically displaces the overlying water. F.Imamura, DRCR 2
Propagation : Shoaling effect The deeper the water and the longer the wave, the faster the tsunami propagate. The back of wave overtake another,decreasing the distance between them F.Imamura, DRCR 3

2004 Great Indian Ocean tsunami- Developing the monitoring and warning system with information technology evacuation system Integrated disaster mitigation program for each region to mitigate tsunamis as well as typhoons, erosion and flood. Data Base to compile the all data International network for the community, education and Hazards map F.Imamura, DRCR 35
Tsunami Warning System 1. Estimating the occurrence of a tsunami by seismic information(magnitude, location and depth) 2. Data base of the simulation with assumptions 3. Real time analysis with the tentative fault model 4. Revision of the tentative fault model by the observation data JMA Tsunami warning F.Imamura, DRCR 36
Accuracy of the simulation Major causes of low accuracy induced by ; Initial source; location and slip Modeling and Geometry data For example. The fixed epicenter and variety of locations in the fault F.Imamura, DRCR 37
Possibility of the Tsunami Warning using by the Simulation Under the TIME project South-Honshu Ridge Carlsberg Ridge Chagos-Laccadive Ridge Mascarene Ridge Ninetyeast Ridge Cooperated with the F.Imamura, Deployment DRCRof Asia-Pacific-Indian Ocean Hazard- 38 mitigation Network for Earthquakes and Volcanoes: DAPHNE Project
To reduce damage and casualties The Three Helps of disaster measures Problem in tsunami warning; The people could not see the impact/terror of tsunami only by warning with the tsunami information; arrival time and heights. They should understand its impact have the imagination before the tsunami attack through making hazards map and having workshop. Public help Tsunami warning Self help workshop Mutual help Risk communication F.Imamura, DRCR 39
Community-based Programs for awareness of tsunami disaster Location of the program leadership Program goals and training approaches Use of volunteers Targeted organisational unit Knowing what to do in the face of hazard Curriculum intervention for disaster mitigation from the hazard management community Curricula for responsible citizenship F.Imamura, DRCR 40
Making the original hazard maps In the past, the map was provided by the local government but no use for the people Original information should be included Selecting the base map Collecting the information of risk Discussion what information be included Checking them by town-walking inundation F.Imamura, DRCR 41
