Estimating Losses from Tsunami Risk: Focus on Southern California

摘要：

This paper discusses recent work on estimating tsunami risk, with a focus on the coastline of the Western U.S. It is a summary of on-going research, starting with the methodology to model tsunami risk and the hazard along the Southern California coastline. Estimates of loss for various scenario events are presented, illustrating that tsunami losses in the billions of dollars are possible along U.S. coastlines.
