摘要

The giant tsunami that occurred in 2004 opened the eyes of many nations adjacent to theIndian Ocean, who had thus far believed that no such calamities would befall them. The disastrousconsequences of the tsunami shattered livelihoods, apart from the well-known statistics of deaths andfinancial losses. While acknowledging the inevitable occurrence of earthquakes that are the major causefor tsunamis, relief can be sought in the context of early warning. Sri Lanka stands as the second worstaffected country of the 2004 Asian tsunami and required a proper evaluation of the existing warningprotocols. This paper explains a unique research approach for effective evaluation of warning andevacuation processes from the international level to the village level. A comprehensive warning andevacuation network is constructed with a proper understanding of post-earthquake activities. Simulationof the network yields plausible probability estimates for the time available for a successful evacuation.However, the risks associated with each activity of the simulated networks may impose a seriousuncertainty on this rough estimate. Failure of key elements in the network, specifically a malfunction oftsunami detection systems, failure of power and communication, etc., may cause significantdiscrepancies. Moreover, scenarios, such as night-time tsunamis, pose an additional, often unforeseenthreat. The evolving nature of technologies and the behavioural patterns of the public, in turn, can makethe existing network obsolete; and thus, a future network based on predicted information must also bemodeled. The paper accommodates these scenarios and attempts to quantitatively address theirconsequences in the context of delay in evacuations.
