This document discusses tsunamis, including their generation, propagation, hazards, and mitigation strategies. It defines tsunamis and distinguishes them from tidal waves and storm surges. It then discusses tsunami hazards in the Philippines and the science behind tsunami formation, movement, and inundation. The remainder of the document outlines strategies for tsunami hazard assessment, warning systems, education, and land use planning to reduce risks from these deadly waves.

The Philippines is prone to geological events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides. These natural events bring about different hazards that may cause damage to infrastructures and endanger human lives.

Earth Materials and Processes : ENDOGENIC PROCESS
Content Standard:
The learners demonstrate an understanding of:
geologic processes that occur within the Earth and
the folding and faulting of rocks

There are many different means of investigating the landslide-prone areas. Two types of landslide hazard evaluation methods are available. One is the direct observation and the other one is the use of technological tools. One of the guiding principles of geology is that the past is the key to the future. In evaluating landslide hazards, the future slope failures could occur as a result of the same geologic, geomorphic, and hydrologic situations that led to past and present failures. Based on this assumption, it is possible to estimate the types, frequency of occurrence, extent, and consequences of slope failures that may occur in the future. A landslide susceptibility map goes beyond an inventory map and depicts areas that have the potential for landsliding.

Minamata is a city located in the Kumamoto prefecture, Japan. The Chisso Corporation, basically a fertilizer and chemicals producer started to release its waste into the Minamata river. This affected the whole Minamata community since the concentration Mercury became high.
Disaster is a serious, dangerous and intolerable phenomena on the planet earth. Thousands of people die in a moment. Many people may become homeless and parentless. Valuable properties get damaged within no time. Disasters are events shocking the whole world and making the humanity to feel very sad. All life support systems are affected by these incidences.
What is required to minimize the effects is the application of certain management practices. Disaster management is an essential component of our development works. Let us see the aspects of Disaster Management in this module.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

impact
15. Tsunami in the PhilippinesTsunami in the Philippines
• About 44 earthquakes from
1589 to present generated
tsunamis.
• Enclosed bays are the
usual sites where tsunami
waves are observed.
• Some areas have more
than one tsunami reports
(ex. Songsong Bay, Manila
Bay, Calauag Bay, Caraga
Bay, Moro Gulf area)
• Minimum earthquake
magnitude is 5.4.
• Largest tsunamis occurred
in the Zamboanga-
Cotabato-Sarangani areas
Reference: Bautista, 2002
16. Tsunami Deposits
• Geologic materials (including grain sizes from
boulders to mud) deposited above mean sea
level during the passage of a tsunami.
17. Tsunami Deposits
• Landward limit of
inundation
• Direction of flow over
an area
• Infer the passage of
prehistoric tsunamis
and the occurrence of
an earthquake.
18. Tsunami Deposits
• Identify ancient
tsunami deposits
– Difference in facies
between tsunami and
storm deposits

Level 3Level 2Level 1
30. False Warnings
• False Warnings will occur
– Small, non-destructive
tsunami observed
– Expensive: In 1994, false
warning in Hawaii cost
$50M
– High number of false
alarms reduces
credibility
– Evacuations place
citizens at greater risk
• Balance number of false
warnings with missed
events
– No warning system, no
false warnings
• Prepare & educate public,
media and emergency
officials
– Statistics
– Reliability
32. Aonae Peninsula – Rebuilding
• 10 years & > $600 M
later
– Memorial Park
– Memorial Hall
– Elevate (3 m fill) and/or
relocate town
– 10-m high platform at
harbor
– Sloping (not stairs)
covered evacuation
routes
– Four water gates
– Concrete sea-walls
34. Lessons Learned
• Education is essential for
local tsunamis
– Hard sell
– All hazards approach
• Land use management is
least expensive way to
mitigate tsunami damage
– Rebuild or Relocate?
• Surveys of tsunami
damage immediately after
the tsunami provides vital
data for numerical model
development and
education
38. Tsunami Damage
• Run-Up & Inundation
• Ground Subsidence
• Wave-related damage
– Best case: Quickly rising
tide
– Worse case: Wall of
turbulent water with rocks
and debris
39. Damage Scenario
• Trees and posts are
uprooted from their
locations
• Cars and boats are
inundated;
• Tsunami debris can
cause injuries during
inland & back flows
40. Damage Scenario
• Sea water is murky
and may cause health
complications when
ingested.
• Water in wells
become salty and not
potable
• Agricultural lands are
rendered useless for
two years.
41. Signs of an Impending Tsunami
• Large off-shore
earthquake
• Unusual rise or fall of
coastal waters
• Exposure of corals and
underwater rocks
• Sound of approaching
train
42.

44. Safety Procedures
• If any news of a nearby
earthquake, stay alert
and be ready to move to
higher ground;
• If you feel an
earthquake wherein you
cannot stand,
immediately move to
higher ground;
• If the water receded,
immediately move to
higher ground;
• Never attempt to watch
an approaching
tsunami;
• Listen to instructions
and do not return until
authorities issue an
all’s-clear bulletin;
52. Issues on Land Use Planning
Uncoordinated special
purpose plans such as for
transportation or economic
development with hazard
planning
Location of the hazard
does not seem to have
impacted the land use
allocation decision
making process
Definitions of hazard
zones vary in accordance
with technique
Safety related criteria < Economically viable project
Private and other government agencies
would perform beyond their mandates
and capabilities;
Evacuation routes are non-
existent or unmaintained and are
located in hazard zones
53. • Restrict land use by
strategically controlling
development
• Support land-use plans
through capital
improvement planning
and budgeting
• Existing land-use
restrictions can be
modified
Land Planning Measures
• Designate tsunami hazard
areas for open-space use
(agriculture, parks,
recreation);
Acquire tsunami hazard
areas for open-space use
Very low-density residential use
Clustering of development
Extension of water supply, public
facilities etc.
Keep development at a minimum in
hazard areas
floodplain restrictions,
hillside and landslide control,
environmental, scenic, recreational and
wildlife-protection requirements
Simple acquisition
Development rights
Leasing
Land exchange
54. Land Use Planning
• Tsunami effects must
be addressed if
administration decides
to build in hazard
zones;
• Damage to life and
property may be due to:
– Simple flooding
– Force of waves
– Horizontal currents such
as drawdown
Organization and
arrangement of three
primary elements :
Structures
Elevated Open Spaces
Roads & Alleys
55. Inventory of Physical Conditions
• Opportunities &
Limitations
– Areas of high and low
relief
– Dangerous to other
calamities
– Characteristics of the
coastline (narrow
bays, steep cliffs, etc)
– Soil condition
56. Review of the Plan
• Requirements for the
implementation of the
plans
• Conform to the site’s
physical
characteristics;
• Expected cost and
benefits of the plan
