The paper states that specific tsunami hazard maps have been established for particular coastal areas of Greece and that these maps and any associated disaster management plans have been developed as a tool to mitigate the effects of future tsunamis in the region. The author provides the results of new investigations of the effects of a past tsunami in Greece and shows that the magnitude of this event has been overestimated. The results imply that revisions of the urban hazard maps and associated disaster preparedness plans should be considered. - Reproduced  aDisasters - Greece  aNatural disasters - Greece  aDisasters  aDisaster Prevention and Management  a40048  c40048d40048  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 7, Issue no: 3pAR40420r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
