Estimation Of Run-Up Amplification Factors For Penang

The mega-tsunami that struck Malaysia on 26 December 2004 affected 200 kilometres of northwest Peninsular Malaysian coastline from Perlis to Selangor. This rare catastrophic event has awakened the attention of Malaysian government to take appropriate risk reduction measures, including timely and ord...
