“…It is important to note that the present geographical split is based on the 2011 tsunami, which is extremely rare [corresponding to a level 2 tsunami-one in a hundred years event or less frequent (Shibayama et al 2013)]. It is expected that smaller, more frequent tsunamis (i.e.…”

“…Though developing countries often lack the resources to construct layer 1 "hard measures", spatial planning and evacuation systems do not necessarily require large investments and can prove highly effective against coastal disasters [1]. If adequately constructed, certain government buildings and other robust structures can survive even tsunamis of considerable height, and the building of such Evacuation Buildings should take place in all areas at risk by coastal hazards [11] It is thus clearly important for local authorities to establish effective layer 2 measures, were the inhabitants of an area do not "forget" past events and the construction of housing in areas that are at high risk is prevented. This can be established through adequate regulations and zoning control that prevents development in potentially hazardous areas.…”

“…The 2011 event is currently considered a Level 2 tsunami, as it is believed to have a return period greater than 1 in 1000 years [4]. Essentially, following the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, the Japanese coastal engineering community has classified tsunami events into two different levels, according to their level of severity and intensity [4].…”
