Abstract:
Advances in the understanding and prediction of tsunami impacts allow the development of adaptation and
mitigation strategies to reduce risk on coastal areas. This work, funded by the Spanish Agency for International
Development Cooperation (AECID) during the period 2009-2012, presents a comprehensive methodology for
tsunami risk assessment at any coastal area worldwide applied specifically in this case to the coast of El Salvador.
