 SEISMOGRAM DETAILS AND PROPOSED LOCATION
 Q &A
TSUNAMI
• A long, high sea waves formed in the sea
Cause of tsunami
 Large-scale of disturbance of sea level

 Submarine volcanic eruptions
 Land slumping into the ocean
 Ve r t i c a l d i s p l a c e me n t o f t h e e a r t h ’s c r u s t
LOCAL TSUNAMI
• Local tsunamis can reach up 100 km
from the source of the tsunami.
• A large earthquake displaces the sea floor

near the coast
• Arrival of the tsunami less an hour and

less than 10 minutes
EXAMPLE OF LOCAL TSUNAMI
• 8.9 high magnitude earthquake

near coast line
• The waves hit the eastern coast of

Japan about 1.5 hours after the quake
• The 23 foot (7 meter) tsunami swept

away boats, cars, houses
• 88 people died
Japan Tsunami 2011

REGIONAL TSUNAMI
• A regional tsunami is a tsunami that can

cause damage from 100km-1000km from the
source of the tsunami
• Arrival of tsunami is between 1-3 hours

DISTANT TSUNAMI
• The distant or tele-tsunami and the ocean

wide tsunami can cause damage as far as
1000 km away from the source of tsunami
• It can take over 3 hours to occur

OBJECTIVES
There are several objectives to be achieved in this project, which are:

 Implement use of ArcGis technology to analyse satellite images of study area.
 Come up with an evacuation process for the residents of Pulau Langkawi in case of tsunami.
 Provide a suitable location for a seismograph station to detect earthquake activities and provide higher accuracy
in determining a tsunami threat.
DANGER ZONE DETERMINATION
 Langkawi was struck by tsunami on the 24th of December 2004
 Tsunami was caused by an earthquake with magnitude of 9.3 along the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia.
 A total of 68 casualties were reported in Malaysia after the disaster, it was clear that the country is no longer safe from such occurrences
and safety plans needs to be implemented.
 Figures shows simulated wave propagation of 2004 Andaman Tsunami towards

northwest Peninsular Malaysia arriving at Langkawi in 3 h 40 min.
Figure shows general location map for Kampong

Kuala Teriang and Kampong Kuala Melaka
showing coastline, bathymetry and the orientation of
the first wave as it approached the coast. Inset map
shows Pulau Langkawi and main areas affected by
2004 tsunami
EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND EVACUATION PLAN
Flow of emergency response plan:

 Deploy Warning System
 Implement Evacuation Process
 Gather at nearest assembly area and report self to the authorities to ensure your safety.
 Wait for further instructions
 Deploy Warning System

 Implement Evacuation Process

 Figure shows proposed evacuation
routes
 Gather at nearest assembly area and report self to the

authorities to ensure your safety wait for further
instructions.
 Langkawi International Airport proposed for Assembly
Area due to its structure being able to hold a high
number of people and is within the area of the
breakwater structure that can reduce the impact of
tsunami.
 Other assembly area proposed to be the local school.
Why are seismograms needed?
• Acts as an alarm system when sudden change in tidal activity is detected
• Helps the responsible authorities take early affirmative measures
• Analyze threats to eliminate risks and reduce overall damage and casualties
Type of seismogram used
• A tsunami monitoring system
• Created by Pacific Marine Environmental

Laboratory (PMEL)
• Positioned at strategic locations throughout the

ocean
• Play important role in tsunami forecasting
Deep-Ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART)

How it works?
Location of DART
Depends on few criteria:
• Close to plate tectonic activities to accurate and strong detection
• It detects earthquakes in less than 30 minutes
• Place where enough time is available for the evacuation of citizens and
implementation of safety measures
• Not to far so maintained can be carried out every 2 years (Life span)
Hence, proposed distance from shore of Langkawi: 230km
