Coastal vulnerability is a spatial concept that identifies people and places that are
susceptible to disturbances resulting from coastal hazards. Hazards in the coastal …

Frequent and escalating natural disasters pose an increasing threat to society and the
environment. Effective disaster management strategies are crucial to mitigate their impact …

Tsunami waves that arrive hours after generation elsewhere pose logistical challenges to
emergency managers due to the perceived abundance of time and inclination of evacuees …

This paper presents a methodology to evaluate life safety risk of coastal communities
vulnerable to seismic and tsunami hazards. The work explicitly incorporates two important …

The present study proposes a comprehensive investigation of the tsunami-evacuation plans
for a popular coastal area considered to be at high risk for tsunami attack. If a coastal region …

When studying real-world infrastructure systems as networks, one common avenue of
analysis is the identification of critical network elements. These features are often defined as …

Developing an effective tsunami evacuation plan is essential for disaster risk reduction in
coastal regions. To develop effective tsunami evacuation plans, real transportation network …

Transportation systems serve important roles during emergencies, in particular for
evacuations. However, efficient travel during these life-and-death scenarios can be …

Distant tsunamis require short-notice evacuations in coastal communities to minimize threats
to life safety. Given the available time to evacuate and potential distances out of hazard …

This paper applies the min-cut max-flow theorem combined with a grid cell disruption
method over a large transportation network, to identify the importance of network locations in …
