Robust tsunami casualty estimation is vital for Peru’s central coast. While static maps ignore evacuation dynamics, precise agent-based models (ABMs) are often too computationally demanding for rapid screening. To bridge this gap, we propose an efficient geospatial workflow coupling TUNAMI-N2 simulations with shortest-path routing. Evaluating four subduction scenarios across Chorrillos and Villa El Salvador, the model tracks census-block evacuation progress. By intersecting evacuation trajectories with tsunami arrival times, casualties are calculated using empirical depth-dependent fragility functions. Results highlight that delayed reaction times significantly increase mortality. Furthermore, a counterintuitive dynamic emerges in spatially constrained corridors lacking vertical evacuation: higher walking speeds can paradoxically increase fatalities by advancing evacuees into deeper inundation zones before being overtaken. This highlights that behavioral preparedness must be coupled with structural urban interventions. Ultimately, our scalable approach enables DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction) managers to rapidly map mortality hotspots and prioritize critical infrastructure improvements in highly exposed coastal zones.
