ITIC TRAINING PROGRAMME - INTERNATIONAL (ITP-INTL) TSUNAMI EVACUATION MAPS, PLANS AND PROCEDURES (TEMPP): TEMPP 1: INUNDATION MODELING AND MAPPING

Organizer & Staff
Participation
By invitation only.
The TEMPP training course is intended to be a standardized course and process for the production of reliable and practical community-level tsunami evacuation maps. The direct outcomes are communities that know what to do and where to go when a tsunami warning is issued, or when self-responding to the natural warning signs of a tsunami. Upon completion, countries should have the capability and tools to replicate the community evacuation map process elsewhere in their country. This training focuses on TEMPP Module 1 and will equip participants with knowledge to develop an inundation map, with or without the use of modelling. A tsunami inundation map identifies areas expected to be flooded by tsunamis based on available historical evidence and/or modelling, and is essential to developing an evacuation plan and undertaking mitigation measures to minimize the impact of tsunami. TEMPP1 covers the explanation and use of inundation models for evacuation modeling. Topics include earthquake tectonics, tsunami science, bathymetric and topographic grids, earthquake source parameters, forecast methodology, tsunami modeling, tsunami hazard assessment and use of the MOST model and ComMIT interface tool.
