Summary:A mathematical simulation of tsunamis was developed based on the proposal of a fault model and modeling technology in 1960, and applied to the reproduction of historical events, risk assessment, hazard maps and quantitative forecasting system by the JMA. More detail and important data from earthquake tsunami monitoring in real time has become available to improve the mathematical simulation. Updates on the progress in this field and its utilization to provide evacuation warnings are described.
