A tsunami surge inundates the parking lot at the top of the Upper Harbor in Santa Cruz, California on Saturday. | PHOTO: Yonhap via The Korea Herald/Asia News NetworkRecords of the Joseon Dynasty show multiple cases of earthquake-induced waves in the 17th century, with one in July 31, 1668 in Pyeongan Province — now part of North Korea — being caused by the earthquake in China’s Shandong region.
One of the results is a report published by the National Disaster Management Research Institute in 2013. The study, titled “Improvement of tsunami response system with the analysis of tsunami risk elements in Korea,” says while Korea’s location makes it less vulnerable to quakes and tsunamis, there exists a rare case scenario with potentially devastating impacts.
An analysis by the Korea Meteorological Administration shows that an earthquake in excess of magnitude 6.5 that occurs in Korea’s east coastal area can trigger a tsunami that could cause substantial damage. A magnitude 6.6 quake can create a tidal wave that is half-a-meter in height.
