Abstract: A system and method for providing individualized tsunami notifications with the aid of a digital computer are provided. A request for a location of a mobile device is received by a mobile application executing on the mobile device. The location is provided to at least one server. A notification of a possible forecasted tsunami impact on an area that comprises the provided location is received via the communication network, the notification comprising a vector line applicable to a map of the area and describing a portion of the area forecasted to be impacted when applied to the map. The vector line is applied to the map and the portion of the area is represented on the map. When the location is forecasted to be impacted is calculated. The representation of the portion of the area and when the location is forecasted to be impacted is represented via the mobile device.

Abstract: A pinpoint forecast of the possible impact of a tsunami is created by processing near real-time tsunami data, including seismic data or wave data obtained using underwater pressure sensors, bathymetry data of the body of water in which the tsunami occurs, and topographic data of specific locations. Notifications are provided to subscribers via their mobile devices. The forecast presents the notification in a form that is easily understandable and which allows the subscriber to take any appropriate action. Disaster response personnel responsible for warning the populace can be similarly notified in a further embodiment. Additional assistance can be provided by activating disaster response and notification devices in the specific locations to be impacted. By providing the location-specific notifications and other actionable data, the system and method clarifies precisely where danger due to the tsunami exists on an individual basis and simplifies the evacuation from the affected areas, aiding public safety.
