SENDAI, JAPAN I2SIM TSUNAMI MODELLING

SENDAI, Japan, March 11th, 2011

Two objective functions will be covered

1. Life safety2. Business

continuity

Life safety

i2Sim modelling

Sendai is a coastal town affected by the tsunami

Three sites or zones shall be considered for the modelling:

Shelter

Zone

Evacuation

Zone

ImpactZone

Timeline

Timeline of events for the tsunami:• To = earthquake strikes• T1 = a tsunami warning is issued• T2 = people from the impact zone (cell 1) start evacuating to higher

grounds (evacuation zone – cell 2)• T3 = people start arriving at the evacuation zone• T4 = firts tsunami wave hits the impact zone• T5 = tsunami waves are detroying the impact zone, a few buildings

remain standing, people are either: trapped, safe and sound, injured or missing

• T6 = flooding starts receding from the impact zone• T7 = shelter and medical care zones are being established at the shelter

zone (cell 3)• T8 = search and rescue teams are deployed from shelter zone• T9 = people are taken from the evacuation zone to the shelter zone• T10 = people are taken from the impact zone to the shelter zone• T11 = search and rescue activities are underway on the impact zone

Cell 1 – Impact zone

This cell is similar to what happened at BC-Place from the Olympic Case.

Population: casualties at 4 levels (green, yellow, red and black) that need to be rescued and transported to the shelter zone

There are also survivors All these people need to be rescued,

transported and they also need shelter ALL THE CELLS WILL TURN FROM GREEN TO

BLACK OR RED

ELECTRICITY CELL 01

CELL 02

CELL 05

Cell 2 – Evacuation zone

This cell is similar to the waiting room at the hospitals from the Olympic Case.

Population: misplaced population that survived the tsunami from the impact zone (no injuries or casualties)

All these people need to be transported and they also need shelter

Cell 3 – Shelter zone at higher grounds

Suggestions

We can use the olympic case The ambulance system can be used as

the search and rescue system BC Place can be the impact zone The waiting room at VGH can be the

evacuation zone

Businness Continuity

i2Sim modelling

The impact zone will be modelling just to give an idea of the recovery activities

It will be shown how the impact zone goes from red to green

ImpactZone

Timeline

Timeline of events for the tsunami:• T12 = Electricity has been restablished (orange-yellow)• T13 = Transportation (roads and means of transportation) has

been restablished (orange-yellow)• T14 = Cells at the impact zone (systems) have been restablished

(orange-yellow)• T15 = All the critical systems have been restablished (orange-

yellow)• T16 = Displaced people will return to their places at tyhe impact

zone• T17 = Nuclear warning has been issued, some activities at the

impact zone will be cancelled• T18 = All the systems are yellow• T19 = All the systems are green• T20 = Businness has been restored at the impact zone

Cell 1 – Impact zone

The timeline affects only this zone It will reflect all the process

Suggestions

The shelter zone will cancel some systems, once the impact zone has restablished its systems
