Abstract

The devastating effect of tsunami generated by the earthquake occurred in Peru was discussed. Peruvian and international tsunami field investigation teams were organized to study the nature and extent of the tsunami in the impacted area. It was found that the extent of inundation and the number of structures damaged or destroyed was significant but the loss to lifelines was lower than expected.
