Abstract
In this paper, we describe a project to generate new tsunami hazard maps (for Hakui city in Japan) that change dynamically with the 3D landform and possible tsunami heights. We also generate 3D models of safe shelters in the city to help familiarize citizens with the facilities. Furthermore, we generated a website to enable the citizens to download the hazard maps and the shelters’ images. The website is linked to the official website of Hakui city and it provides comprehensible and clear information to assist citizens in preparing for potential tsunamis.
