16 Gumbet Bay - The most hit area in Bodrum Peninsula - Waves receded 5min after the earthquake dry stream bed - First wave arrived minutes after the earthquake - The maximum run-up height in the stream 1.9m - The maximum inundation in the stream 100m

17 Tsunami damage in Gumbet

18 dry strea m bed

19 Bitez Bay - Next western bay of Gumbet in Bodrum Peninsula - No major tsunami damage - Flow depth 0.5m and no strong current - Western part of the bay: - Sea inundation around 250m along the stream - The run-up height: 0.9m Eastern part of the bay: - No observed/reported boat damage - small wave oscillations with 11m inundation

20 Tsunami effect in Karaincir Bay - The maximum run-up height m m inundation distance along the stream bed stream bed

21 Tsunami effect in Karaincir Bay

22 Tsunami effect in Karaada At south coast of island (facing to epicenter) at Kucuk Poyraz bay Small gravels in the spaces on the rocks of the beach which are thought to be washed by the tsunami waves (Elevation: approximately 2m)

31 Tsunami Early Warning in NEAM Region for 20 th July 2017 Bodrum-Kos Earthquake All of four Tsunami Service Providers have disseminated tsunami alert messages for 20 th July Bodrum-Kos Earthquake within 10 to 20 minutes after the earthquake. First messages were in WATCH alert level which were followed by ONGOING messages due to the tsunami observations in Bodrum and Plimiri tide-gauge stations. Tsunami END messages have been disseminated within 3 to 4,5 hours after the earthquake.

32 Discussion and Conclusion The 20 July 2017 Bodrum/Kos earthquake and tsunami was quite a strong event that caused damage to southern coast of Bodrum Peninsula. Gumbet Bay is the most hit and damaged region with more than 1m of flow depth and the inundation distance reached up to 60m at some places. Tsunami penetration is much higher wherever any streambeds exist in the bays such as in Karaincir, Bitez and Gumbet Bays. The maximum inundation distance reaches up to 250m along the stream. According to the preliminary elevation measurements performed by topographical engineering division of Bodrum Municipality, the maximum run-up was determined as 1.9m in Gumbet Bay. Similarities between the layout and boat parking locations of Bitez bay and Gumbet bay but significant different tsunami behavior in these two bays. While significant inundation, strong whirlpools, currents and consecutive damaging motions occur, dragged all small crafts, damaged about 30 boats, and caused sinking 10 boats in Gumbet bay, there was no dragging and damaging of the boats in Bitez bay.

33 Discussion and Conclusion Fener Beach seems the most probable boundary of significant inundation at the western end Yaliciftlik Bay is the most probable boundary at the eastern end Karaada island located in between Bodrum and Kos acted as a tsunami breakwater and protected Bodrum town. There may be higher runup at some other small narrow bays at South of Karaada where the survey could not be performed at those critical bays facing to Epicenter location. For Kos Island part; Most of the damage from the tsunami occurred in the port where a wave height of about 1.5 m has been detected. In many other locations along the Kos island signs of tsunami were measured with heights ranging between 0.5 and 0.8 m. The earthquake also damaged several sections of the port, old and historical buildings and some private buildings: detailed inspections are under way.
