Tsunami science and survival guidance

Organized in two parts, the book connects practical preparation with the science behind tsunamis. Its opening chapters draw on lessons from past disasters, explain basic tsunami science in a survival context, and outline disaster-mitigation measures. The later chapters move into tsunami formation and near-shore behavior, then cover numerical simulation and forecasting. This structure links personal survival information to broader questions about how tsunamis develop and how their behavior is studied. Published in 2010, the book presents its guidance and scientific material from that period.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People living in or preparing to move to tsunami-prone areas
  • Travelers who may visit tsunami-prone regions
  • Readers seeking an introduction to tsunami science, mitigation, and forecasting

Book overview

This book provides comprehensive scientific information and knowledge survival tips on how to survive a tsunami. It is especially useful to those living (or about to live) in tsunami-prone areas, and to travelers who may visit such areas. The book is composed of two parts: the first consisting of three chapters on how to survive a tsunami by (i) describing precious lessons obtained from actual tsunami disasters, (ii) imparting fundamental knowledge of tsunami science for survival, and (iii) listing measures for tsunami disaster mitigation. The second part provides more detailed scientific knowledge on tsunamis and consists two chapters: one describes tsunami occurrence mechanism and near-shore behavior; the other mentions numerical simulation and tsunami forecasting. This book has been awarded the 2009 Book of the Year Award by the Japan Society of Civil Engineers.
