Abstract

Tsunamis are among the most devastating and uncommon natural phenomena, it is the result of an underwater disturbance that breaks into the coastal zone. However, scientific research in the Caribbean Sea regarding these events is minor due to its unusual occurrence if compared to the Pacific Ocean. The physical vulnerability of 305 buildings was evaluated at Bocagrande; a notable area at the socioeconomic and tourist level; implementing the Papathoma Tsunami Vulnerability Assessment (PTVA4) model which has been analyzed and validated obtaining satisfactory results. Likewise, the relevant information was collected through the mobile application survey 123 for ArcGIS, representing the results on thematic maps based on Geographic Information Systems. The relative vulnerability index of each building could be determined, providing a tool for future decision making and implementation by local authorities.
