The one important fact in this video, at 10:00 - after the next mega-quake tsunami, there will be secondary waves hitting the inundated area for up to 6 hours. Don't go into the inundation zone for 6 hours.
There's isn't much to do to prepare for a tsunami other than know where to seek higher ground, and, based on this video, to stay there a lot longer than I had previously thought.
I was interested to hear that 12:10 once the safety tower was built, people started to think more about planning for disasters. I think it became a stark visual reminder of the constant risk - and got people thinking. That might save more lives than the 400 people it can hold. I agree it seems small, but maybe that's better than nothing, and may represent the entire population of that remote community.
