The accounts show the tsunami reached the southwest municipalities of Portugal in less than 30 minutes after the earthquake, and about one hour later the entire coasts of Portugal, Gulf of Cadiz （Spain） and Morocco were hit by the first tsunami waves. The tsunami took about five hours to reach Ireland and UK, and hit the Caribbean region about 9-10 hours after the earthquake. In addition, significant damage and fatalities were reported in Portugal （Peniche, the Lisbon Metropolitan Area and seven coastal areas in the south）, Spain （Cadiz） and in all Morocco coastline, including Marrakech which is located about 200 km inland. In Ireland, UK and the Caribbean minor damage was observed, and no fatalities were reported.展开更多

As such, these models may include tools that convey attribute analysis, not only at the statistical level but also in terms of visual appearance of the objects, thus allowing the generation of new knowledge about a phenomenon or its effects. Lisbon is a city with a moderate level of seismic risk, and has been hit in the past by strong earthquakes. Several seismic vulnerability studies of buildings have been carried out in Lisbon. These studies generate different scenarios that consider the magnitude and source location of potential earthquakes. The results of these studies were presented as maps obtained from crossing information contained in 2D layers and presented in a GIS environment. In the present study a seismic vulnerability assessment of Lisbon's buildings held in 2D is extended to the third dimension, which refines the resolution and the set of parameters and explores the gains of spatial analysis in 3D representations. The numerous parameters that contribute to assess seismic vulnerability of buildings may be analyzed individually or simultaneously as well as in multiple seismic scenarios. Although covering all residential buildings in Lisbon, the application of the 3Dcity model is demonstrated with more detail in three pilot areas.展开更多
