Tsunami swamps Hawaii beaches, brushes West Coast - World news - Asia-Pacific - msnbc.com

Better safe than sorry, and these warnings do indeed get people prepared for it to mimimise losses, especially human ones. It's a lesson I hope other areas like the ones you referenced don't learn the hard way.

Here we see the difference in building standards Haiti--versus Japan. Those Japanese skyscrapers held up in this earthquake--versus Haiti--everything collapsed killing 100's of thousands.
