Zusammenfassung |
This study, a companion paper to Renou et al. (2011), focuses on the
application of a GIS-based method to assess building vulnerability and
damage in the event of a tsunami affecting the coastal area of Rabat and
Salé, Morocco. This approach, designed within the framework of the European
SCHEMA project (www.schemaproject.org) is based on the
combination of hazard results from numerical modelling of the worst case
tsunami scenario (inundation depth) based on the historical Lisbon
earthquake of 1755 and the Portugal earthquake of 1969, together with
vulnerability building types derived from Earth Observation data, field
surveys and GIS data. The risk is then evaluated for this highly
concentrated population area characterized by the implementation of a vast
project of residential and touristic buildings within the flat area of the
Bouregreg Valley separating the cities of Rabat and Salé. A GIS tool is
used to derive building damage maps by crossing layers of inundation levels
and building vulnerability. The inferred damage maps serve as a base for
elaborating evacuation plans with appropriate rescue and relief processes
and to prepare and consider appropriate measures to prevent the induced
tsunami risk. |
