Contexte du projet

This project aim to develop and implement seismic, tsunami and coastal risks mitigation. In particular the project intends to contribute for a Tsunami Ready Community working on two programs: a Tsunami Ready Beach (TRB) and a Tsunami Ready Hotel (TRH). Besides, the project also intends to address other risks present on the beach. All involved countries have a large coastal area which beaches are a holiday destination par excellence, and tourists are one of the most vulnerable groups concerning these risks. All the actions to be developed will be done in close collaboration with the local associations and authorities.

Both initiatives (TRB and TRH) have been already carried out partially by the three involved Centres in previous projects. In Lagos (Portugal) tsunami warning and evacuation signs are implemented in a pilot beach. Questionnaires on tsunami risk were also carried on to hotels and beach concessions in Portugal and Morocco. A workshop devoted to these subjects was organized by CERU with the participation of the other 2 Centres.
