Abstract

The authors propose a method to search and detect the impact of tsunami disaster by integrating numerical modeling remote sensing and GIS technologies. This method consists of regional hazard/damage mapping identifying exposed population and satellite image interpretation in terms of structural damage. The method is implemented to the recent tsunami event the 2009 tsunami in American Samoa to identify the structural damage by the tsunami.
