Title

Tsunami hazard, warning, and risk reduction in Italy and the Mediterranean Sea: state of the art, gaps, and future solutions

Abstract

Historical catalogues show evidence for about 300 tsunamis in European coastal waters since 1600 BC, and tsunami hazardmodels like the NEAMTHM18 provide the probability of future inundation from earthquake-induced tsunamis. A recent wake-up callcame from the 2020 MW7.0 Samos-İzmir earthquake and the following moderate, damaging tsunami. Five accredited Tsunami ServiceProviders (TSPs) run by IPMA (Portugal), CENALT (France), INGV (Italy), NOA (Greece), and KOERI (Turkey), and several nationalcenters monitor the seismicity and provide tsunami alerts in the framework of the UNESCO Tsunami Early Warning and MitigationSystem in the North-eastern Atlantic, the Mediterranean and connected seas (NEAMTWS). In this paper, we focus on the state of the artof earthquake-induced tsunami risk reduction and coastal planning in Italy from the perspective of the Centro Allerta Tsunami (CAT),the INGV NTWC (National Tsunami Warning Center) and TSP. We will emphasize some limitations to draw future directions for betterpreparation and towards the full implementation of the tsunami warning “last-mile”.
