| Zusammenfassung |
| Australia is at risk from tsunamis and recent work has identified the need
for models to assess the vulnerability of exposed coastal areas – a
fundamental element of the risk management process. Outputs of vulnerability
assessment can be used as a baseline for the generation of tsunami prevention
and mitigation measures, including evacuation maps. Having noted that no
evacuation maps exist for Manly, Sydney (an area recently subjected to high
resolution building vulnerability assessment by Dall'Osso et al., 2009b), we
use the results of the analysis by Dall'Osso et al. (2009b) to "draft"
tsunami evacuation maps that could be used by the local emergency service
organisations. We then interviewed 500 permanent residents of Manly in order
to gain a rapid assessment on their views about the potential usefulness of
the draft evacuation maps we generated. Results of the survey indicate that
residents think the maps are useful and understandable, and include insights
that should be considered by local government planners and emergency risk
management specialists during the development of official evacuation maps
(and plans) in the future. |
