max-flow-depth: Raster image depicting maximum composite flow depths over dry land. For each grid point, the pixel value provides the modeled depth of water (in meters) over previously dry land, representing the maximum depth value of all calculated tsunami scenarios. max-inundation: Estimated "maximum credible scenario" inundation lines that encompass the maximum extent of flooding based on model simulation of all credible source scenarios and historical observations. The maximum credible scenario inundation lines are intended to be utilized as a basis for local tsunami hazard planning and the development of evacuation maps. scenario-01: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.2 earthquake in the area of Kodiak Island; 10 km depth scenario-02: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.25 earthquake in the area of Kodiak Island; 20 km depth scenario-03: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.3 earthquake in the area of Kodiak Island; 10-20 km depth scenario-03-ab1: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.3 earthquake in the area of Kodiak Island; 10-20 km depth with added splay fault in the Albatross Bank zone, dip angle 45 degrees scenario-03-ab2: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.3 earthquake in the area of Kodiak Island; 10-20 km depth with added splay fault in the Albatross Bank zone, dip angle 60 degrees scenario-03-bs: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.3 earthquake in the area of Kodiak Island; 10-20 km depth with added splay fault in the backstop zone, dip angle 30 degrees scenario-03-ks1: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.3 earthquake in the area of Kodiak Island; 10-20 km depth with added splay fault in the Kodiak shelf zone, dip angle 45 degrees scenario-03-ks2: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.3 earthquake in the area of Kodiak Island; 10-20 km depth with added splay fault in the Kodiak shelf zone, dip angle 60 degrees scenario-04: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.25 earthquake in the area of Kodiak Island; 10 km depth, slip extending to 0 km depth scenario-05: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.3 earthquake in the area of Kodiak Island; 20 km depth, slip extending to 0 km depth scenario-06: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.3 earthquake in the area of Kodiak Island; 10 km depth, slip extending to 0 km depth scenario-06-ab1: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.3 earthquake in the area of Kodiak Island; 10 km depth, slip extending to 0 km depth with added splay fault in the Albatross Bank zone, dip angle 45 degrees scenario-06-ab2: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.3 earthquake in the area of Kodiak Island; 10 km depth, slip extending to 0 km depth with added splay fault in the Albatross Bank zone, dip angle 60 degrees scenario-06-bs: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.3 earthquake in the area of Kodiak Island; 10 km depth, slip extending to 0 km depth with added splay fault in the backstop zone, dip angle 30 degrees scenario-06-ks1: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.3 earthquake in the area of Kodiak Island; 10 km depth, slip extending to 0 km depth with added splay fault in the Kodiak shelf zone, dip angle 45 degrees scenario-06-ks2: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.3 earthquake in the area of Kodiak Island; 10 km depth, slip extending to 0 km depth with added splay fault in the Kodiak shelf zone, dip angle 60 degrees scenario-07: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.3 earthquake near Kodiak Island with 35 m of maximum slip along most of the rupture scenario-08: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.25 earthquake with 50 m of maximum slip in the shallow part of the rupture scenario-08-ab1: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.25 earthquake with 50 m of maximum slip in the shallow part of the rupture with added splay fault in the Albatross Bank zone, dip angle 45 degrees scenario-08-ab2: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.25 earthquake with 50 m of maximum slip in the shallow part of the rupture with added splay fault in the Albatross Bank zone, dip angle 60 degrees scenario-08-bs: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.25 earthquake with 50 m of maximum slip in the shallow part of the rupture with added splay fault in the backstop zone, dip angle 30 degrees scenario-08-ks1: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.25 earthquake with 50 m of maximum slip in the shallow part of the rupture with added splay fault in the Kodiak shelf zone, dip angle 45 degrees scenario-08-ks2: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.25 earthquake with 50 m of maximum slip in the shallow part of the rupture with added splay fault in the Kodiak shelf zone, dip angle 60 degrees scenario-09: Inundation scenario files for Mw 9.1 earthquake in the Cascadia subduction zone

Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?Access_Constraints:
This report, map, and/or dataset is available directly from the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (see contact information below).Use_Constraints:This dataset includes results of numerical modeling of earthquake-generated tsunami waves for a specific community. Modeling was completed using the best information and tsunami modeling software available at the time of analysis. They are numerical solutions and, while they are believed to be accurate, their ultimate accuracy during an actual tsunami will depend on the specifics of earth deformations, on-land construction, tide level, and other parameters at the time of the tsunami. Actual areas of inundation may differ from areas shown in this dataset. Landslide tsunami sources may not be included in the modeling due to unknown potential impact of such events on a given community; please refer to accompanying report for more information on tsunami sources used for this study. The limits of inundation shown should only be used as a general guideline for emergency planning and response action in the event of a major tsunamigenic earthquake. These results are not intended for any other use, including land-use regulation or actuarial purposes. Any hard copies or published datasets utilizing these datasets shall clearly indicate their source. If the user has modified the data in any way, the user is obligated to describe the types of modifications the user has made.
