    Abstract. We present a building damage dataset following the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake. The database was compiled from freely available, multi-source, remote sensing data, verified through opt-in crowd-sourced information. The dataset consists of geo-referenced vector polygons representing the pre-event building footprints of 140,208 structures. Each building was classified through visual inspection using pre-disaster and post disaster vertical, oblique, survey, and verifiable news reporting imagery. Entries were validated using voluntary-submission data sourced through a web-API hosting a live version of the database. We calculate classification metrics for a subset of the database where ground survey photographs were provided by independent surveyors. An average F1-score of 0.94 suggests that the proposed assessment is consistent and high quality. We aim to inform future disaster research such as disaster dynamics models; statistical and machine learning damage models; logistics and evacuation studies. The present work describes the data collection process, damage assessment methodology, and rationale; including limitations encountered, the crowd sourcing validation process, and the dataset structure.

    In this investigation, we have conducted a long period teleseismic and tsunami waveform inversion to obtain the slip distribution of the 1974 Lima-Perú earthquake occurred in the central region of Peru. According to teleseismic inversion, the rupture process was complex with a duration of 90 s approximately and the main asperity was located in the northern side of the rupture geometry, offshore Lima and Callao. According to tsunami waveform inversion the main asperity was located in the southern side of the fault plane, offshore Cañete. However, a joint inversion of teleseismic and tsunami waveforms averaged the contribution of the two datasets and could give a better result. The maximum slip from the joint inversion was 7.25 m, and the moment magnitude was Mw 8.1. Despite the occurrence of this earthquake (almost 50 years ago), there is a high seismic potential to trigger a tsunamigenic earthquake in the central region of Peru. According to the interseismic coupling the next earthquake in the central region of Peru is ready to occur and it would be of 8.5–8.8 Mw.

  19. Beyond tsunami fragility functions: experimental assessment for building damage estimation

    Abstract Tsunami fragility functions (TFF) are statistical models that relate a tsunami intensity measure to a given building damage state, expressed as cumulative probability. Advances in computational and data retrieval speeds, coupled with novel deep learning applications to disaster science, have shifted research focus away from statistical estimators. TFFs offer a “disaster signature” with comparative value, though these models are seldom applied to generate damage estimates. With applicability in mind, we challenge this notion and investigate a portion of TFF literature, selecting three TFFs and two application methodologies to generate a building damage estimation baseline. Further, we propose a simple machine learning method, trained on physical parameters inspired by, but expanded beyond, TFF intensity measures. We test these three methods on the 2011 Ishinomaki dataset after the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in both binary and multi-class cases. We explore: (1) the quality of building damage estimation using TFF application methods; (2) whether TFF can generalize to out-of-domain building damage datasets; (3) a novel machine learning approach to perform the same task. Our findings suggest that: both TFF methods and our model have the potential to achieve good binary results; TFF methods struggle with multiple classes and out-of-domain tasks, while our proposed method appears to generalize better.

    In large-scale disasters, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, quick and sufficient transportation of emergency relief supplies is required. Logistics activities conducted to quickly provide appropriate aid supplies (relief goods) to people affected by disasters are known as humanitarian logistics (HL), and play an important role in terms of saving the lives of those affected. In the previous last-mile distribution of HL, supplies are transported by trucks and helicopters, but these transport methods are sometimes not feasible. Therefore, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to transport supplies is attracting attention due to their convenience regardless of the disaster conditions. However, existing transportation planning that utilizes UAVs may not meet some of the requirements for post-disaster transport of supplies. Equitable distribution of supplies among affected shelters is particularly important in a crisis situation, but it has not been a major consideration in the logistics of UAVs in the existing study. Therefore, this study proposes transportation planning by introducing three crucial performance metrics: (1) the rapidity of supplies, (2) the urgency of supplies, and (3) the equity of supply amounts. We formulated the routing problem of UAVs as the multi-objective, multi-trip, multi-item, and multi-UAV problem, and optimize the problem with Q-learning (QL), one of the reinforcement learning methods. We performed reinforcement learning for multiple cases with different rewards and quantitatively evaluated the transportation of each countermeasure by comparing them. The results suggest that the model improved the stability of the supply of emergency relief supplies to all evacuation centers when compared to other models.

    Abstract. Lima, Peru's capital, has about 9.6 million inhabitants and keeps attracting more residents searching for a better life. Many citizens, without access to housing subsidies, live in informal housing and shack settlements. A typical social phenomenon in Lima is the sudden illegal occupation of areas for urban settlements. When such areas are unsafe against natural hazards, it is important to relocate such a population to avoid significant future losses. In this communication, we present an application of Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images to map the extension of a recent occupation of an area with unfavorable soil conditions against earthquakes.

    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.

    The goal of the Scientific Session: “Advances of International Collaboration on M9 Disaster Science” at the 2nd World Bosai Forum (WBF) in Sendai in November 2019 was to share progress on research projects and findings related to an M9 mega-disaster event, building on outcomes from a March 2019 collaborative workshop on M9 disaster science between research partners from the International Research Institute of Disaster Science (IRIDeS)/Tohoku University, University of Washington-Seattle (UW), and the Research Center for Integrated Disaster Risk Management (CIGIDEN). This paper reports on the presentations during the WBF Scientific Session, which shared updates and outputs of research collaborations from different disciplines, following the themes of risk-based planning, structural engineering, tsunami observation and early warning, and tsunami simulation and probabilistic tsunami risk assessment. This international and cross-disciplinary collaboration has led to the advancement of a number of specific research projects in different fields, as well as a robust network of researchers in the three countries. Based in coastal regions facing similar risks of massive earthquakes and tsunami in Japan, the United States, and Chile, it is hoped that ongoing and future collaboration within this network will continue to advance knowledge of disaster science and international disaster risk reduction.

    Earth Observation satellite imaging helps building diagnosis during a disaster. Several models are put forward on the xBD dataset, which can be divided into two levels: the building level and the pixel level. Models from two levels evolve into several versions that will be reviewed in this paper. There are four key challenges hindering researchers from moving forward on this task, and this paper tries to give technical solutions. First, metrics on different levels could not be compared directly. We put forward a fairer metric and give a method to convert between metrics of two levels. Secondly, drone images may be another important source, but drone data may have only a post-disaster image. This paper shows and compares methods of directly detecting and generating. Thirdly, the class imbalance is a typical feature of the xBD dataset and leads to a bad F1 score for minor damage and major damage. This paper provides four specific data resampling strategies, which are Main-Label Over-Sampling (MLOS), Discrimination After Cropping (DAC), Dilation of Area with Minority (DAM) and Synthetic Minority Over-Sampling Technique (SMOTE), as well as cost-sensitive re-weighting schemes. Fourthly, faster prediction meets the need for a real-time situation. This paper recommends three specific methods, feature-map subtraction, parameter sharing, and knowledge distillation. Finally, we developed our AI-driven Damage Diagnose Platform (ADDP). This paper introduces the structure of ADDP and technical details. Customized settings, interface preview, and upload and download satellite images are major services our platform provides.

    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.

    Tsunamis are rare events compared with the other natural disasters, but once it happens, it can be extremely devastating to the coastal communities. Extensive inland penetration of tsunamis may cause the difficulties of understanding its impact in the aftermath of its generation. Therefore the social needs to technologies of detecting the wide impact of great tsunamis have been increased. Recent advances of remote sensing and technologies of image analysis meet the above needs and lead to more rapid and efficient understanding of tsunami affected areas. This paper provides a review of how remote sensing methods have developed to contribute to post-tsunami disaster response. The evaluations in the performances of the remote sensing methods are discussed according to the needs of tsunami disaster response with future perspective.

    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.

    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.

    <p>An earthquake shook the central-southern coast of Peru on August 15, 2007, as a coseismic effect a tsunami was generated, which flooded some villages and beach resorts and killed 3 people. From the analysis and signal processing of 10 tidal records, we obtained the parameters of the seismic source and the initial coseismic deformation through an inversion modeling, in which the synthetic signals are compared with the observed signals by a non-negative least square method. The maximum slip located on the southern part of the rupture geometry is 7.0 m. The calculated scalar seismic moment is M<sub>0</sub>=1.99×10<sup>21</sup> Nm, equivalent to a magnitude of M<sub>w</sub>8.1. We used these parameters to obtain a heterogeneous seismic source model, which was used as initial condition to simulate the tsunami propagation and inundation. We used the field survey observations to validate our source model.</p>

    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.

    Fusion of high-performance computing and geo-informatics defeats the problem of understanding whole picture of the affected areas. In the present study, we proposed a research perspective in developing a method to search and detect the impact of tsunami disaster by integrating real-time numerical modeling, remote sensing, natural language processing and GIS technologies. The method was verified through a series of case studies of tsunami inundation simulation, structural damage estimation, and web-news' text data analysis to to grasp the sequence of a disaster situation.
