Description:
In the frame of the Interreg Italy-Croatia program, the EU has funded the PMO-GATE
project, focusing on the prevention and mitigation of the socioeconomic impact of natural hazards
in the Adriatic region. The Database of Adriatic Tsunamis and Meteotsunamis (DAMT) is one of
the deliverables of this project. DAMT is a collection of data documenting both meteotsunami and
tsunami effects along the Eastern andWestern Adriatic coasts, and it was realized by starting from
the available database and catalogues, with the inclusion of new data gained from recent studies,
newspapers and websites. For each tsunami and meteotsunami, the database provides an overview
of the event and a detailed description of the effects observed at each affected location and gives a
picture of the geographical distribution of the effects. The database can be accessed through a GIS
WebApp, which allows the user to visualize the georeferenced information on a map. The DAMT
WebApp includes three layers: (1) Adriatic Tsunami Sources, (2) Adriatic Tsunami Observation
Points and (3) Adriatic Meteotsunamis Observation Points. The database contains 57 observations of
tsunami effects related to 27 tsunamis along the Italian, Croatian, Montenegrin and Albanian coasts
and 102 observations of meteotsunami effects related to 33 meteotsunamis.
