[C320-list] Tsunami

[Mike Paris]

In California we constantly prepare for earthquakes through education, 
training, storing supplies, and earthquake drills. Also, there are 
earthquake code requirements for all building. The problems are often with 
the older buildings that were built to lessor codes. I think the Japanese 
have even better preparation which showed in how structures withstood an 8.9 
quake. Now tsunamis are another thing. They haven't been a big issue here 
but, after the other day, I think that is going to change.
