Abstract

East Java's southern coast has many cities that could be hit by tsunamis, Lumajang is one of those cities. As part of mitigation, the inundation range could be used to figure out where tsunami areas could be. Scientists use the ComMIT app to figure out where the possible location might be based on the 1994 Banyuwangi earthquake's location and an earthquake strength of Mw 8.7. The results of this modeling are then added to an inundation map using QGIS's dissolve, fill holes, smoothing, and buffer geometry tools, which are used to make the map look better. According to the tsunami inundation map that was made by this modeling, the inundation distance ranged from 2 to 3 km, with the maximum distance being 3.87 km. Even though the maximum tsunami inundation area is 17.01 km2, the maximum tsunami run-up ranged from 10.9 to 12.9 m. People who are living in this scenario will be affected by how big and far away the epicenter is that caused the tsunami. There should be a guide on how to protect the zoned area from the worst effects of a tsunami. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
