Severe natural Hazard, like e.g. tsunamis or earthquakes, often lead to catastrophes with spectacular consequences. In these days natural disasters caused loss hundreds of thousands of human, damage to infrastructure, disturbance of financial activity and loss of billions of money worth of material. This presents the hazard mapping for Tsunami and strategy for Tsunami evacuation for Diu (20.4283° N, 72.8397° E) and western coast of Gujarat state on Indian subcontinent. The purpose of this study is to develop tsunami hazard maps by analyzing the coastal inundation characteristics of Gujarat. The need for the study is to aware people for the hazard of tsunami and saving maximum lives when tsunami occurs there. The overall goal of this study is preparing a tsunami evacuation map for Diu city and western cost of Gujarat state. The past historical earthquakes of Tsunamigenic source of Makran subduction zone which was responsible for causing tsunami on western coast of Gujarat. The outcomes of this study can be utilized by public policy and decision makers in developing disaster management strategies.
