The article provides a comprehensive analysis of tsunami hazards in Batukaras Village using Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Analysis (PTHA). The study addresses key factors such as earthquake return periods, tsunami heights, coastal morphology, and the contribution of different megathrust segments to tsunami hazards. The findings have significant implications for disaster mitigation strategies in the village, particularly for vulnerable coastal areas. However, there are some areas that require clarification and further elaboration. My recommendation is minor revision.
1.The article provides a detailed overview of the PTHA methodology used for tsunami hazard analysis. However, more specific details on the data sources, model assumptions, and validation procedures would enhance the reproducibility and robustness of the analysis. Can the authors elaborate on the process of data validation and verification used to ensure the accuracy of the PTHA results?
2. Although the study acknowledges the uncertainties associated with tsunami hazard modeling, it would be beneficial to include a more in-depth discussion on uncertainty quantification and its implications for decision-making. How were the uncertainties in earthquake parameters, sub-segments size, bathymetry data, and coastal morphology accounted for in the analysis, and how do they impact the reliability of the hazard estimates?
3. The article highlights the vulnerability of sloping coastal areas in Batukaras Village to tsunami hazards. However, a deeper discussion on the specific factors contributing to coastal vulnerability, such as coastline shape, population density, and land use, would provide a better understanding of the potential impacts of tsunamis on the local community.
4.The results of the PTHA analysis are presented effectively through hazard curves, deaggregation maps, and probability assessments. However, in Figure 8, I suggest to add 95% confidence to present a more comprehensive tsunami height?
5. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of disaster mitigation strategies in Batukaras Village. It would be valuable to suggest potential avenues for future research to address knowledge gaps and improve the effectiveness of mitigation efforts. Are there any specific areas of research or data collection that the authors recommend to further enhance understanding of tsunami hazards and vulnerability in Batukaras Village?
