This work aim to assess the risk of tsunami along the Moroccan Atlantic coast. The approach is based on the risk scenario which combines the hazard numerical modelling, spatio-temporal, stakes and criteria of the physical and human vulnerability. This study consists firstly in assessing the exposure of the Moroccan Atlantic coast to tsunami risk at the regional scale. The approach based on coupling the numerical modeling of hazard of tsunami similar to 1755 and regional land use database. It provide a set of geo-risk indicators aggregated in several meshes on the ground (municipal grid square with side of 5km), make possible to draw a comparative analysis of the risk across Morocco. Secondly it involves the risk of loss of life in case of major tsunami at the city of El Jadida, expressed in terms of geo-risk indices. Human vulnerability is expressed by a probability of loss of life. These probabilities are given by matrices based on data from marine submersion numerical modeling and vulnerability criteria determined through empirical curves damage. Risk indices obtained include the spatio-temporal distribution of the population, in the hourly step for two seasons. [etc.]
