TSUNAMI HAZARD TO Hawaii from a M9+ Event similar to 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami Charles Mader PACON - Paper and PowerPoint

2 Dr. Herman Fritz surveys of December 26, 2004 Tsunami
DEATH ZONE WAS AREA BELOW 10 METERS and LESS THAN 1 KILOMETER FROM SHORE.

3 Sri Lanka Multiple Tsunami Waves
Most witnesses described 3 main waves. The first knocked them off their feet, the second picked them up and carried them, often up to 50 km/hr, and the third bore them up to 15 meters high or sucked them under.

4 Fritz Indian Ocean Tsunami Survey Conclusions
Evacuate all areas below 15 meters above sea level and within 0.25 mile of shoreline or along rivers. Evacuate all areas below 10 meters above sea level and within 1.0 mile of shoreline or along rivers. Evacuate all areas below 5 meters above sea level and within 3 miles of shoreline.

5 The Fritz Indian Ocean Evacuation Criteria
Consider the 1946 historical observations as recorded in United States Tsunamis (page 66) Waipio Valley - 12 meter run-up amplitude Swept 1 mile into valley, pulled away homes and people and left only foundations Waikolu Valley, Molokai meter run-up amplitude Destroyed farms and buildings up entire valley. Makapuu Point, Oahu meter run-up amplitude Destroyed the nearby Ranch buildings with 3 waves (Helsley from wave deposits) leaving only foundations. Three wide valleys destroyed by the 1946 tsunami are historical evidence that the Fritz Indian Ocean Criteria is also appropriate for Hawaii .
