The world's cities with their large concentrations of population depend to a very high degree on the proper functioning of their main lifelines such as water, energy, transportation and communications; these can be suddenly interrupted if they are affected by natural phenomena such as tsunamis. In the case of transportation routes, the damage caused is not only limited to the affected component but can have a multiplying effect on the attention of the population, disaster mitigation actions, the performance of normal activities and the economy in general. Peru is part of the “Circum-Pacific Ring of Fire“, which is where more than 80% of the earthquakes that affect our planet occur and which are sources of tsunamis; for this reason, numerous tsunamis have been recorded throughout history, among the most important of which are those that occurred in 1582, 1586, 1604, 1687, 1746, 1868, 1966, 2001 and 2007. This research thesis has been developed to evaluate the risk of the infrastructure of the Pan-American Highway North to the occurrence of tsunamis; a highway that is considered the most important in Peru and the American Continent; not only for its extension but also for its great economic, political, social, integrationist and strategic importance. The tsunami hazard has been determined through numerical modeling with Tunami-N2, and considering the occurrence of a 9.0 MW magnitude earthquake. According to the inundation charts obtained, which were superimposed with the geometric outline of the Panamericana Norte highway; in this scenario, 04 vulnerable road infrastructure sectors have been identified as they would be affected by the tsunami. Finally, with the objective that during the occurrence of a tsunami the trafficability of the Pan-American Highway North is not interrupted, allowing humanitarian aid and the transit of goods to develop normally; recommendations have been established for the execution of the new projects that the Government of Peru has in its portfolio, such as the construction of the Trujillo and Chimbote bypasses.
