Tsunami Inundation Mapping

Tsunami Evacuation Maps:• First state to develop tsunami

evacuation maps for emergency management (1991)

• Cover 725 of 1500 km of Hawaii coastlines

• Based on five most-destructive trans-Pacific tsunamis to Hawaii during the last century

• Inferred from 1D modeling of recorded run-up

Update of Evacuation Maps:

• In coordination with National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program

• Latest topographic and land use data and 2D modeling techniques

• Evaluation of hypothetical distant and regional tsunamis

Mixed messages from the media and government to the public

Not enough planning and exercising at the county level (Hawaii County the exception) C&C of Honolulu designated only 5 Tsunami Evacuation Sites Public expected emergency shelters to be open Shut down of pumping stations at WWTP on Maui two hours

before wave arrival

Evacuation of ports and harbors was outstanding

Excellent support from the public
