This collaborative project focuses on assessing and reducing tsunami risks in Europe, with test sites in Portugal and Tangier. It includes identifying vulnerable areas, creating evacuation routes, and proposing shelter locations through GIS tools.

Assessment, Strategy And Risk Reduction for Tsunamis in Europe • www.astarte-project.eu • Collaborative Project 603839 FP7-ENV2013 6.4-3 • SINES-PORTUGAL Test-Site • Maria Ana Baptista, Rachid Omira – IPMA • Luis Matias, Cristina Catita – FFCUL • Presented by M. A. Baptista
ASTARTE Test Sites • Test sites can be impacted by regional and local tsunami sources, which put different levels of stress on detection and forecasting; • Different tsunami source types, such as earthquakes, landslides, volcanoes and rockslides, some of which not included in NEAMTWS • Different values at risk including industry, harbours and other infrastructures, and ecosystems • Different coastal communities such as fishing communities, coastal cities and tourist developments. • Test sites include a broad geographical coverage, in both North-east Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts
SINES Test Site • . The Sines harbour is located on the west coast of Portugal, 150 km South of Lisbon; • . The town population is app. 14.000 inhabitants (Census 2001) with a floating population of 5.000 people mainly because of industry and tourism.; • . The port of Sines, one of the largest deep-water (28m) harbors in Western Europe; • . Five main terminals: Liquid Bulks, Liquid natural gas, petrochemical, container, and multipurpose; as well as of fishing and leisure ports;
TANGER Test Site • The harbor zone of Tangier City will have: • an area of transit travelers • a new marina • a new fishing port
Different tsunami source types, such as earthquakes, landslides, volcanoes • (Omira et al., 2009, NHESS) • (Matias et al., NHESS 2013) Earthquake sources: South West Iberian Margin and Gloria Fault

Implementation of ASTARTE GIS-based multi-layer database including results for the Sines test-site – FFCUL Goals and Methods This sub-task will have as its primary goal the integration of the geospatial data generated in the previous tasks in the same GIS database in order to evaluate / quantify the vulnerability of the building structures and hence the exposure of populations to flooding by the tsunami in Sines test site. Once identified the areas of greatest vulnerability is intended to generate even evacuation routes for people and shelter for them in different circumstances of emergency. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools, will be used to analyze and create cartographic products to provide end-user understanding of vulnerability of tsunami damage and potential subsequent losses, as well as a proposal for the location of shelters and evacuation routes in case study site. Methodological steps 1. Assessment to the structural vulnerability of buildings; 2. Integration of the different scenarios of flooding and exposure to tsunami 3. Assessment to the vulnerability to tsunami 4. Modeling of Evacuation routes and identification of potential shelters
