    Optimizing pedestrian evacuation in the face of a tsunami remains a critical challenge for safeguarding human lives. Agent-based models combined with reinforcement learning techniques offer a powerful framework to simulate complex evacuation scenarios, where agents learn to make decisions and identify safe routes in real time. This study focuses on improving evacuation efficiency along the coast of Camaná, Arequipa, Peru. We propose the use of numerical simulations to model pedestrian movement under the guidance of a reinforcement learning-based system. Under current transportation network conditions, only 16.6% of the population is able to reach a safe area in a tsunami scenario similar to the 2001 event. To address this, several modifications to the transportation network were proposed, including the addition of new evacuation paths and the construction of vertical evacuation structures. With the incorporation of 12 new paths and 6 vertical evacuation structures, the percentage of the population reaching safety increases to 73%. These findings provide a scientific basis for planning and implementing improvements to evacuation infrastructure in tsunami-prone areas.

    Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly important in disaster emergency response by enabling real-time aerial video analysis. Due to the limited computational resources available on UAVs, large models cannot be run independently for real-time analysis. To overcome this challenge, we propose a lightweight and efficient two-stage framework for real-time wildfire monitoring and fire source detection on UAV platforms. Specifically, in Stage 1, we utilize a policy network to identify and discard redundant video clips using frame compression techniques, thereby reducing computational costs. In addition, we introduce a station point mechanism that leverages future frame information within the sequential policy network to improve prediction accuracy. In Stage 2, once the frame is classified as "fire", we employ the improved YOLOv8 model to localize the fire source. We evaluate the Stage 1 method using the FLAME and HMDB51 datasets, and the Stage 2 method using the Fire & Smoke dataset. Experimental results show that our method significantly reduces computational costs while maintaining classification accuracy in Stage 1, and achieves higher detection accuracy with similar inference time in Stage 2 compared to baseline methods.

    <title>Abstract</title> On January 1, 2024, at 16:10 (local time), a magnitude (Mw) 7.5 earthquake occurred on the Noto Peninsula, Japan. Japan Meteorological Agency seismic intensity scale of 7 was observed and a tsunami warning was issued for a wide area along the Japan Sea. In this study, we constructed the finite fault model of this earthquake. First, we estimated the fault geometry based on the aftershock within 7 days after the mainshock, and then, estimated the slip distribution using the tsunami and GNSS data. Most of the obtained fault geometry agreed with the one detected by the Japan Sea earthquake and tsunami project (JSPJ) in the strike angle but not in the dip angle; the angles were more gradual. The slip distribution had two large slip areas on the east and west sides of the hypocenter. The model also indicated that the eastern part of the fault, or the fault buried under the sea floor, generated the tsunami which was dominant east of the peninsula. In the west of the peninsula, on the other hand, the tsunami generated by the westernmost fault, or the inland fault under the peninsula, hit first, and then the tsunami propagating from the east of the peninsula arrived.

    With the escalating frequency of floods posing persistent threats to human life and property, satellite remote sensing has emerged as an indispensable tool for monitoring flood hazards. SpaceNet8 offers a unique opportunity to leverage cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies to assess these hazards. A significant contribution of this research is its application of Apache Sedona, an advanced platform specifically designed for the efficient and distributed processing of large-scale geospatial data. This platform aims to enhance the efficiency of error analysis, a critical aspect of improving flood damage detection accuracy. Based on Apache Sedona, we introduce a novel approach that addresses the challenges associated with inaccuracies in flood damage detection. This approach involves the retrieval of cases from historical flood events, the adaptation of these cases to current scenarios, and the revision of the model based on clustering algorithms to refine its performance. Through the replication of both the SpaceNet8 baseline and its top-performing models, we embark on a comprehensive error analysis. This analysis reveals several main sources of inaccuracies. To address these issues, we employ data visual interpretation and histogram equalization techniques, resulting in significant improvements in model metrics. After these enhancements, our indicators show a notable improvement, with precision up by 5%, F1 score by 2.6%, and IoU by 4.5%. This work highlights the importance of advanced geospatial data processing tools, such as Apache Sedona. By improving the accuracy and efficiency of flood detection, this research contributes to safeguarding public safety and strengthening infrastructure resilience in flood-prone areas, making it a valuable addition to the field of remote sensing and disaster management.

    The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake caused massive devastation and numerous affected people. In particular, the Ishinomaki area of the Miyagi Prefecture was one of the hardest hit areas during the event. In addition, due to tsunami inundation, several medical facilities were destroyed or inactive at the time. The Ishinomaki Red Cross Hospital served as the last bastion to respond and attend injuries and illnesses in the disaster. We aim to build an agent-based model of triage and transportation of patients to the hospital. The individual and joint activities of response teams were considered to build the agent architecture and they were incorporated into the model. We model the first three days of response activities within the central Ishinomaki area and evaluated the number of patients transported to the hospital including their evaluated health status. We discuss here the case closest to the 2011 event and evaluate the strategies for search and rescue and patient transportation to speed up medical response in the aftermath of a disaster.

    Applications of machine learning on remote sensing data appear to be endless. Its use in damage identification for early response in the aftermath of a large-scale disaster has a specific issue. The collection of training data right after a disaster is costly, time-consuming, and many times impossible. This study analyzes a possible solution to the referred issue: the collection of training data from past disaster events to calibrate a discriminant function. Then the identification of affected areas in a current disaster can be performed in near real-time. The performance of a supervised machine learning classifier to learn from training data collected from the 2018 heavy rainfall at Okayama Prefecture, Japan, and to identify floods due to the typhoon Hagibis on 12 October 2019 at eastern Japan is reported in this paper. The results show a moderate agreement with flood maps provided by local governments and public institutions, and support the assumption that previous disaster information can be used to identify a current disaster in near-real time.

    This paper aims to identify factors influencing the walking speed of evacuees by conducting an evacuation drill in Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia. A number of 18 volunteers and 6 observers, were gathered in an evacuation experiment on 3 routes with 5 segments each. The chosen routes are almost equal in terms of distance, but different in terms of the number of turning points. The experiment comprises of three cases in terms of the complexity of the route. These cases represent a simple, a medium and a complex route based on the number of turning points. The volunteers were asked to move, as if in an evacuation, to a particular place which was assumed to be a shelter. The observers were placed at some particular waypoints to record the time when an evacuee passes their location. The distance between the observers was measured using a manual distance meter. This study found that the average walking speed during the evacuation was 1.69 m/s. In addition, walking speed varied by age, gender, and walking distance. This finding significantly has an effect on the estimations of the coverage area of tsunami shelters. The data collection method is one of the novelties of this research. In this study, the walking speed was observed through an evacuation drill from a location to a shelter of 1.5 km away, whilst most of the previous studies estimate the walking speed based on an observation of a group of pedestrians crossing a road.

    A building damage function was developed using very high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (VHR SAR) images and post-event building damage data after the 2013 Super Typhoon Haiyan, obtained from Tacloban city, the Philippines. Structural damage caused by the typhoon was analyzed focusing on changes in the radar footprint signatures of affected buildings. These changes are classified using a phase-based coefficient calculated from pre- and post-event COSMO-SkyMed images. The damage function is expressed as the damage ratio of structures with regard to the phase-based coefficient. The application of the estimated damage function in Tacloban city shows that from a group of structures with a POC coefficient of 0.2 or less, at least half of them are expected to be damaged.

    Super Typhoon Haiyan that struck the Philippines on November 8, 2013 caused over 7,000 casualties by remarkably high wind speed, storm surges and waves. In this paper, characteristics of human loss in the coastal region of Leyte Island, Philippines were investigated based on the relationship between the observed inundation height and depth and the number of deaths and missing people in each barangay. From the analysis, barangays with more than 10 % of the fatality ratio were found along the coastal areas in Tacloban city and Palo and Tanauan municipalities. It was found that the scale of human damage caused by Haiyan is similar to that caused by any other historical tsunami disaster, clearly indicating the massive external force of the storm surge during the Haiyan event and the vulnerability of those coastal areas.

    Field measurements and numerical simulations are used to assess the resons for different types of water-related structural damage observed in Tacloban and Eastern Samar. Coastal Tacloban saw heavy damage due to wind waves riding atop storm surge, while inland Tacloban experienced much lighter damage because wind waves were not present (though inundation by surge soiled structures). Eastern Samar experienced little wind-induced or pressure-induced setup, but breaking-wave-induced setup over the reef combined with wave runup and infragravity motions caused heavy damage along the coast.

    Tsunami flow velocity on land is important for estimating tsunami load on structures. Numerical simulation is widely used to estimate tsunami load with flow velocity estimation. However, the simulation results have not been validated sufficiently because of the lack of observed information. In this study, through several case studies incorporating different initial and boundary conditions, authors simulated the 2011 Tohoku tsunami to discuss its verification with particular regard to tsunami inundation velocities. To better simulate tsunami inundation velocities, authors developed the tsunami run-up model with time-dependent building destruction model.

    On November 8, 2013 a powerful tropical cyclone, named as Super Typhoon Haiyan, struck the areas of Southeast Asian countries. The Eastern Visayas in the Philippines was one of the most affected regions due to the high winds and storm surge that inundated and destroyed more than one million houses. In Leyte and Samar islands, approximately 6,268 people were killed. In addition, the Daniel Z. Romualdez (DZR) Airport, located at the Leyte Island in the city of Tacloban, was heavily damaged. In this paper, we briefly describe the damage and inundation mapping effort carried out using satellite imagery and the observations gathered during a field survey conducted in January 2014 with the leadership of the International Research Institute of Disaster Science (IRIDeS) of Tohoku University. The field survey team inspected the affected areas to grasp the inundation extent and comprehend the mechanisms of structural and building damage through inspection and measurement of inundation heights. In addition, survivors were interviewed during the field survey, their experiences of evacuation are summarized here.

    Information on the tsunami arrival time for people located along a coastline is crucial for community-based tsunami preparedness activities. It is also important for tsunami source mechanism studies to support other field observation data such as run-up heights, co-seismic subsidence and eyewitness accounts. In this study, we reconstructed the tsunami arrival times along the east coast of Japan during the 2011 tsunami. As most of the tide gauges were damaged, first we collected and analyzed the arrival time data from equipment that survived the tsunami. The tsunami waveforms offshore were taken from six GPS buoys covering the Fukushima coastline in the south to Aomori in the north. Next, we utilized the records from stopped clocks found in the tsunami affected areas to briefly view the inundation arrival time. In addition to the observed run-up data, we used the above-mentioned arrival time information to propose and validate a new source mechanism for the 2011 Japan tsunami. The well-validated source model was then used to obtain the characteristics of the tsunami arrival time along the east coast of Japan. The results can be used as primary information for designing a community-based evacuation plan and increasing community awareness of tsunamis.

    The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake/Tsunami was a magnitude 9.0 Mw event that destroyed most structural tsunami countermeasures. However, approximately 90% of the estimated population at risk from the tsunami survived due to rapid evacuation to higher ground or inland. In this paper, we introduce an evacuation model integrated with a numerical simulation of a tsunami and a casualty estimation evaluation. The model was developed in Netlogo, a multi-agent programming language and modeling environment for simulating complex phenomena. GIS data are used as spatial input information for road and shelter locations. Tsunami departure curves are used as the start time for agents deciding to evacuate in the model. Pedestrians and car drivers decide their own goals and search for a suitable route through algorithms that are also used in the video game and artificial intelligence fields. Bottleneck identification, shelter demand, and casualty estimation are some of the applications of the simulator. A case study of the model is presented for the village of Arahama in the Sendai plain area of Miyagi Prefecture in Japan. A stochastic simulation with 1,000 repetitions of evacuation resulted in a mean of 82.1% (SD=3.0%) of the population evacuated, including a total average of 498 agents evacuating to a multi-story shelter. The results agree with the reported outcome of 90% evacuation and 520 sheltered evacuees in the event. The proposed model shows the capability of exploring individual parameters and outcomes. The model allows observation of the behavior of individuals in the complex process of tsunami evacuation. This tool is important for the future evaluation of evacuation feasibility and shelter demand analysis.

    The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was one of the world’s worst tsunamis and caused devastating damage in many Asian countries. Then, in 2011, Japan was hit by a tsunami that was generated by the greatest earthquake in the country’s history. This paper discusses the damage caused by these tsunamis and subsequent reconstruction. Introduced first are the experience gained and lessons learned for future tsunami mitigation, such as tsunami awareness, proper evacuation building and the memorial parks created in the countries affected by the 2004 tsunami (Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand). Second, the damage by the 2011 tsunami to structures designed to protect against tsunamis is summarized. Most of these structures could not withstand and protect from the tsunami because they were not designed for such a large tsunami. Human casualties and building damage are discussed using fatality ratios and fragility curves, respectively. These analyses show that experience and awareness help reduce human casualties in the Sanriku area, and wooden houses damaged by the 2011 tsunami fared better than in previous historical events. Finally, examples of ongoing reconstruction in Japan are introduced. Most reconstruction efforts were planned after considering the lessons learned from the tsunami’s impact, and the towns in question are now strengthening their disaster prevention-related plans to be better prepared for future tsunamis.

    A severe earthquake of Mw 8.8 occurred on 27 Feb. 2010 at Chil and the subsequent tsunami attacked the coast. The field survey was conducted in Chile to develop a new survey method based on a chemical analysis of soil. The soil samples were obtained from both the inundated and the not-inundated area and the content of water-soluble ions, electric conductivity (EC), and pH were measured. The tsunami inundated soil contains much water-soluble ions and the discriminant analysis of the tsunami inundation using the amount of ions in the soil showed high discriminant accuracy (over 90%) with Na+, Mg2+, Cl-,Br-, SO42-, and EC.

    Tsunami has caused devastating damage to coastal regions many times. Since a period of earthquake occurrence generating tsunami can be estimated from historical records, the time of the earthquake occurrence and its magnitude are roughly estimated. Therefore, accumulation of field survey data and knowledge is important to prepare for future tsunamis. In this paper, we examined a simplified chemical analysis of soil to detect the tsunami inundation area and presented an on-site analytical method for inundation area detection. This chemical analysis is expected to support field surveys on tsunami inundation area.

    In order to reduce the damage caused by traffic congestion, we develop a tool that promotes evacuating on foot by considering in advance what each individual will do to overcome the disaster. In developing the simulator, we considered the characteristics of car evacuees clarified by the past research and the situation in Ishinomaki during the 2021 Miyagi earthquake. This simulator shows the evacuation situation and traffic congestion in the Isinomaki area, shows how users evacuate when a big earthquake occurred or a tsunami warning is announced, and shows how long it will take to finish evacuating. The results obtained were as follows: 1) to show a video of what the evacuation behavior will be may lead to the promotion of evacuation on foot 2) since the simulator allows people to experience the traffic congestion in the Ishinomaki area, which can only be seen when occurred the disaster, showing the state of traffic congestion and which roads are likely to cause congestion may lead to the promotion of evacuation on foot.

    Information on the tsunami arrival time for people located along a coastline is crucial for community-based tsunami preparedness activities. It is also important for tsunami source mechanism studies to support other field observation data such as run-up heights, co-seismic subsidence and eyewitness accounts. In this study, we reconstructed the tsunami arrival times along the east coast of Japan during the 2011 tsunami. As most of the tide gauges were damaged, first we collected and analyzed the arrival time data from equipment that survived the tsunami. The tsunami waveforms offshore were taken from six GPS buoys covering the Fukushima coastline in the south to Aomori in the north. Next, we utilized the records from stopped clocks found in the tsunami affected areas to briefly view the inundation arrival time. In addition to the observed run-up data, we used the above-mentioned arrival time information to propose and validate a new source mechanism for the 2011 Japan tsunami. The well-validated source model was then used to obtain the characteristics of the tsunami arrival time along the east coast of Japan. The results can be used as primary information for designing a community-based evacuation plan and increasing community awareness of tsunamis.

    The purpose of this research project is to apply and expand the concept of “Digital Twins” to disaster science and build a “Disaster Digital Twin” (DDT) which utilizes human-centered data to improve community resilience. Specifically, the DDT and a multi-agent simulation framework developed by the Japanese team will be applied in a context of the elderly, a population with personalized care needs which is disproportionately affected by disasters. This will be done through the integration of the “CareDEX” by the U.S. team, a platform which incorporates personalized care information from responders, caregivers and the elderly, with a digital twin developed by the both teams. This integration of technology developed by the two teams is expected to enable a variety of “Virtual Disaster City” (VDC) simulations which will be useful for policy design in for the elderly with the specific needs, for example medical equipment, reduced mobility, cognitive disease, in a context of disaster resilience.

    The project promoted collaborative research among science, engineering, and disaster medicine with the goal of enhancing resilience of disaster medical systems by integrating real-time simulation and sensing. Considering the catastrophic tsunami disaster concerned as future risks in Japan, we achieved three outcomes ; 1) quantitative and rapid estimation of human and physical damage caused by the tsunami, 2) immediate estimation of medical demands in disaster affected areas, and 3) methodology for planning and updating disaster medical activities through multi-agent simulation. Through the project, we examined the required specifications for an innovative medical support system in the anticipated disaster process of future Nankai Trough earthquake and tsunami disaster that is expected to occur next 30 years.

    We built the refuge decision making model in consideration of personal rationality and cognitive dissonance. We performed the derivation of the jitters of the inhabitants every area and the quantitative analysis of the refuge rate using the model and refuge action data at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake. As a result, we show that the jitters of the local inhabitants who experienced tsunami inundation damage are large. In addition, an elderly person had larger jitters than the youngers, and the giving and receiving of the tsunami warning affected the jitters. About the high tide refuge, we carried out the questionary survey about the refuge action at the time of the typhoon No.21 in 2018. We can show that the estimated death-probability is lower due to the influence of cognitive dissonance.
