Özet:

Tsunamis are believed to be one of the natural enemies of human kind and evolution as the damage it gives at the shores can be described as lethal in means of loss of lives, tangible damage to the economy and concrete living on the shore, threat to health in variety of sicknesses after drawdown of water. Since this phenomena has been lethal lately even in a country like Japan which was prepared for any fatal earthquakes and tsunamis, it is in great importance to use the technology and history in accordance to create a public warning in time. For this purpose, in this study, the development of a database for a simple tsunami warning system is discussed. The methodology consists of defining the lethal historical tsunamis in the area, simulating possible most dangerous tsunami scenarios, evaluating the post effects of the simulated tsunamis, creating basis for developing an informative system in correlation with formerly simulated tsunami scenarios
