Coastal elevation data for tsunami risk analysis

Challenge ID:

HCP-4307

Originator:

Onshore: Hatfield

Title:

Coastal elevation data for tsunami risk analysis.

Theme:

ON 4.3: Environmental monitoring - Natural Hazard Risk Analysis

Consortium Lead:

Hatfield

Interviewed Company:

Hatfield

Geography:

ON.REG.05 - Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei

Challenge Description

What is not possible / not adequately addressed at present?

Potentially hazardous tsunami zones, evacuation routes , and safe havens need to be mapped and identified for crew safety.

What effect does this challenge have on operations?

Important safety issue for crews operating in coastal / tsunami-prone areas to manage and mitigate HSE risks.

Thematic information requirements:

Land use

Topographic information

What do you currently do to address this challenge? 

How is this challenge conventionally addressed?

Government tsunami risk mapping is used, if available. If not, points of high ground are identified as safe havens.

What kind of solutions do you envisage could address this challenge?

Regional tsunami risk maps.

What is your view on the capability of technology to meet this need?

Are you currently using EO tech? If not, why not?

Currently feasible to model tsunamis with high-resolution elevation (onshore and offshore) models but there is a lack of capability using EO technology for early detection/warning.
