PEDESTRIAN TRAVEL-TIME MAPS FOR KODIAK, ALASKA: An anisotropic model to support tsunami evacuation planning
Tsunami-induced pedestrian evacuation for the City of Kodiak, U.S. Coast Guard Base and the community of Womens Bay is evaluated using an anisotropic modeling approach developed by the U.S. Geological Survey. The method is based on path-distance algorithms and accounts for variations in land cover a...
