>>>That's not what the article says. It states there's evidence of a lot of tsunamis in the area previously

Oh, Pardon me. Let me rephrase. "Never in RECORDED HISTORY had a tsunami..."

There are systems already in place. This is a 'I am a scientist, give me money" scam.

Recorded history in that part of the world happens to be about 200 years old, or, about 1/20 millionth of the history of the earth.

Nothing like the Sumatran Tsunami in that portion of the Indian Ocean had happened in "recorded history" and Mt. St. Helens had never had a massive landslide and lateral blast "in recorded history."

That's the problem with geologic risk assessment; people have difficulty seeing beyond the microscopic span of their lifetimes. Anything they haven't personally witnessed doesn't seem real.
