Abstract
Abstract
The Flores earthquake on December 14, 2021, was recorded to cause a weak tsunami in East Nusa Tenggara. The epicenter was in the Flores Sea within 10 km of the hypocenter that triggered M 7.3 and impacted some coastline regions of East Nusa Tenggara, including Labuan Bajo. This study aimed to hindcast this phenomenon and mitigate the coastline region by applying the forecasting scenarios related to the amplification of the earthquake magnitudes and type of the sub-bottom displacements. The TUNAMI Software has been selected to illustrate tsunami wave propagation and inundation. The elevation data for the inputting model used BATNAS-DEMNAS National, while the rest of the parameters were applied using the two scenarios and the best guess. Based on the model results, it can be concluded that the source characteristics and the magnitudes played an essential role in inundating the coastal region in Labuan Bajo, West Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara.
