Public health needs assessments of Tutuila Island, American Samoa, after the 2009 tsunami.
OBJECTIVE An 8.3 magnitude earthquake followed by tsunami waves devastated American Samoa on September 29, 2009, resulting in widespread loss of property and public services. An initial and a follow-up Community Needs Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) objectively quantified disaster-affected population needs. METHODS Using a 2-stage cluster sampling method of CASPER, a ...

متن کاملDispersive Study on Tsunami Propagation of The Indian Ocean Tsunami , 26 December 2004
The Indian Ocean Tsunami (IOT) 26 December 2004 is the most devastating tsunami recorded in history causing over than 200,000 deaths and millions homeless people, uncounted property and infrastructure damaged along the coasts of Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives. Many lessons can be inferred for this case, one of interesting phenomena is the dispersive effect on tsunami propagati...
متن کاملCoupling of Dispersive Tsunami Propagation and Shallow Water Coastal Response
The key issue of this article is the concept of combining a model dedicated to dispersive large scale propagation of tsunamis with ComMIT, developed and made freely available by NOAA, that is a state of the art tool for tsunami impact studies. First, the main motivation for this approach, namely the need for efficient computation of runup of tsunamis from submarine/subaerial slides and certain ...
متن کاملEffective Coastal Boundary Conditions for Dispersive Tsunami Propagation
We aim to improve the techniques to predict tsunami wave heights along the coast. The modeling of tsunamis with the shallow water equations has been very successful, but often shortcomings arise, for example because wave dispersion is neglected. To bypass the latter shortcoming, we use the (linearized) variational Boussinesq model derived by Klopman et al. [12]. Another shortcoming is that comp...
