Hawaii Map Series of Tsunami Inundation for the Ocean Hazards Database
Description
This database consists of a series of maps showing tsunami inundation based on historical events (1946 Aleutian, 1952 Kamchatka, 1957 Aleutian, 1960 Chile, and 1964 Alaska tsunamis) and hypothetical events (two great Aleutian earthquakes with moment magnitude (Mw) 9.3 and 9.6 as potential sources). Individual maps show inundation across mile-long sections of Hawaii state routes on the islands of Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Oahu and Kauai previously identified for their vulnerability to the effects of climate change as part of the Statewide Coastal Highways Project Report. Mileposts are identified by Brandes et al. (2019). State of Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) state routes and county street centerline datasets are acquired from HDOT (2017) and HOLIS, C&CH (2017). Shoreline datasets are provided by NGS (2017). Please read ‘Description-Map of Tsunami Inundation.docx’ for detailed information.
