Abstract

The paper presents a framework for assessing vulnerability in the context of tsunami early warning and evacuation at the local level. A case study in the city of Padang, Indonesia was given as a showcase on analysis of the vulnerability component of understanding and response to the early warning. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of household surveys as well as various semi-structured and non-structured interviews derive important parameters that should be considered in development an effective risk communication.

The “Last-Mile – Evacuation” Research Project intended to provide a detailed information system for tsunami early warning and evacuation planning, consisting of hazard and vulnerability information, as well as identification of potential bottlenecks in evacuation, for a coastal city of Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. UNU-EHS, under which the researcher conducted the study, was responsible for the Work Package 1000 “Socio-Economic Vulnerability Assessment” (Project Period: May 2007 – July 2010).

Initial vulnerability framework work was developed in the first phase of the “Last-Mile – Evacuation” research project jointly by Birkmann et al. (2008).
