Abstract
A project is under way to search tsunami-affected area using recent advances of remote sensing technologies combined with a numerical modeling of tsunami propagation/inundation. In the present study, the authors propose a framework in developing a method to search and detect the impact of tsunami disaster by integrating numerical modeling, remote sensing, and GIS. Part of the method is implemented to recent tsunami events including the 2009 tsunami in American Samoa and the 2010 Chilean earthquake tsunami to search the tsunami-affected area and detect the structural damage, using the numerical modeling and the analysis of satellite images.
