Building on the recent experience of the Himalayan Tsunami, it suggests a set of action points and a fram…
The Status of Science and Technology report is an important step for monitoring the progress in the implementation of the Sendai Framework and an attempt to capture some of the progress across geographies, stakeholders, and disciplines towards the application of science and technology towards risk reduction in Asia-Pacific.
Developed by…
This report asserts that the more widespread integration of science into disaster risk reduction policy making will depend on science being ‘useful, useable and used’. The case studies in the report describe specific examples of scientific learning being employed to enhance disaster risk reduction, providing evidence that science is useable for disaster…
This report, a product of the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) SimCenter, provides an overview and review of simulation requirements and software tools for natural hazards engineering of the built environment. Ultimately, the goal is to enable high-fidelity and high-resolution models in regional simulations that can support te…
The first report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Tsunami Science and Technology Advisory Panel advises the NOAA Administrator on matters regarding tsunami science, technology, and regional preparedness.
The report provides eight major recommendations:
Improve unification and capabilities of the Tsunami Forecast Syst…
In this paper, the authors characterize experimentally the waves generated by the gravity-driven collapse of a dry granular column into water. Tsunami waves induced by landslides are a threat to human activities and safety along coastal areas. The generation of tsunami waves by landslides may be triggered by volcanic or seismic events not…
