We develop a method to integrate disaster simulations using a common city model to simulate the response of urban areas under a series of natural hazards. As an application of the developed method, we integrate seismic response analysis of structures and tsunami simulation; a numerical example shows that we can perform a seamless simulation of earthquake and tsunami disasters targeted on a real urban area.
