| Zusammenfassung |
In the framework of the three-year SCHEMA European project
(www.schemaproject.org),
we present a generic methodology developed to
produce tsunami building vulnerability and impact maps. We apply this
methodology to the Moroccan coast. This study focuses on the Bouregreg Valley
which is at the junction between Rabat (administrative capital), and
Salé. Both present large populations and new infrastructure development.
Using a combination of numerical modelling, field surveys, Earth Observation
and GIS data, the risk has been evaluated for this vulnerable area.
Two tsunami scenarios were studied to estimate a realistic range of
hazards on this coast: a worst-case scenario based on the historical Lisbon
earthquake of 1755 and a moderate scenario based on the Horseshoe earthquake
of 28 February 1969. For each scenario, numerical models allowed the
production of tsunami hazard maps (maximum inundation extent and maximum
inundation depths). Moreover, the modelling results of these two scenarios were
compared with the historical data available.
A companion paper to this article (Atillah et al., 2011) presents the following steps of
the methodology, namely the elaboration of building damage maps by crossing
layers of building vulnerability and the so-inferred inundation depths. |
