Alaska Tsunami Loading Resources
The history of Alaska has been shaped by the disastrous effects of tsunamis and even today many of our coastal communities continue to be at risk of being impacted by these tsunami events.
Presented here are Alaska-specific resources on tsunami risks, analysis and design.
Tsunami Inundation Mapping
The Alaska Department of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) has completed tsunami inundation studies for many coastal communities in Alaska.
ASCE 7 Chapter 6 Tsunami Design Loading
ASCE 7 provides design guidance for critical structures in tsunami inundation zones.
