In: ICFR - International Conference on Flood Resilience: Experiences in Asia and Europe. Exeter, UK, p 1-2AUT: JES00807; JIS01119;http://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/10723Tsunami waves cause severe structural and nonstructural damages in the shallow water and inundation areas. The intense development that coastal areas have experienced in the last decades, with a rapid growth in population and economy, has increased their exposure to tsunami waves. Recent research on tsunami modelling has been mainly centred in the hydrodynamic issues (e.g., propagation). However, the major losses, human lives and economic, occur at the inland areas, and so further knowledge on what happens in these areas is needed. Main goal of this research is the assessment of inland buildings resilience to tsunami-induced flooding.engTsunamiBuilding facadesFlood resilienceUrban floodingCoastal citiesconference object
