| Summary: | Volcanic tsunamis are complex natural hazards triggered by a series of cascading effects, beginning with volcanic activity and culminating in massive ocean waves that can have catastrophic impacts on coastal communities. This paper presents an impact assessment of volcanic tsunamis in coastal regions aimed at enhancing disaster risk reduction efforts. The study begins with an exploration of volcanic tsunamis globally, focusing on the cascading effects and the impacts on coastal. Historical cases of volcanic tsunamis are analysed to understand their underlying mechanisms. The assessment draws on a detailed analysis of variables such as cascading effects, tsunami heights, wave travel distances, and fatalities. Monte Carlo simulations was used to quantify the risks of future tsunamis, emphasizing the variability in wave heights across different coastal regions. These insights help to inform the development of more effective early warning systems and disaster risk reduction strategies, particularly in vulnerable coastal areas. By understanding the unique risks posed by volcanic tsunamis, this research contributes to building stronger, more resilient communities prepared to face these rare but catastrophic events. |
