SGER: GIS Applications in Tsunami Hazard Mitigation

摘要：CMS-9726240，刘菲利普，康奈尔大学，海啸的发生是无法准确预测的，相反，有必要通过建立海啸预警系统和实施健全的海岸带管理政策等措施来减少损失。现代地理信息系统(GIS)技术为管理数据、与外部分析程序接口以及以有助于灾害规划、减灾和恢复策略比较的方式显示结果提供了强大的工具。这一研究项目的目的是开发一个初步工具，通过将地理信息系统与海啸传播和启动的数值模型相结合，帮助工程师和规划者减轻海啸灾害，从而使工程师和规划者能够评估将用于数值模型的数据；使模拟练习的结果可视化；并确定受影响地区的潜在洪泛区、疏散路线以及对建筑物和公共设施的潜在损害。该项目的重点是建立一个减少海啸灾害的地理信息系统框架，将夏威夷的希洛作为初步开发的具体地点。+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+克利福德·J·阿斯蒂尔电话：7033061362传真：Castil@nsf.gov nat‘l科学基金会4201威尔逊大道，邮编：22230

ABSTRACT: CMS-9726240, Philip Liu, Cornell U. The occurrence of a tsunami cannot be accurately predicted; instead, it is necessary to focus on reducing the damage through such measures as establishing Tsunami Warning Systems, and by implementing sound coastal zone management policies. Modern geographical information system (GIS) technology provides a powerful tool for managing the data, for interfacing with external analysis programs, and for presenting the results in the manner useful for disaster planning, hazard mitigation, and rehabilitation strategy comparison. The objective of this research project is to develop a preliminary tool to assist engineers and planners in tsunami hazard mitigation by integrating GIS with the numerical models for tsunami propagation and runup, thereby permitting engineers and planners to evaluate the data to be used in the numerical model; to visualize the results from modeling exercises; and to determine potential flooding areas, evacuation routes and the potential damage to structures and utilities in the affected area. The project focuses on establishing the framework of a GIS for tsunami hazard mitigation, using Hilo, Hawaii as the specific site for the preliminary development. +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= + Clifford J.
