Tsunami Mitigation in Hawaii

George D. Curtis

Abstract: Hawai`i has a long, though sporadic history of deadly tsunami attacks. Since the 1946 tsunami disaster the State of Hawaii has developed increasingly sophisticated and effective mitigation strategies. The evolution and operation of these strategies is described in this paper. Tsunamis will no longer be Hawai`i's deadliest natural hazard.

In the absence of fully developed, and accessible assessment tools; local planners have had only basic information to assess the community's tsunami vulnerability. The Papathoma Tsunami Vulnerability Assessment Model (PTVA) is a validated method that uses available tsunami runup estimations and field data collection to produce a detailed assessment of individual building survivability and overall community vulnerability.
