I'm suprised this hasn't been mentioned yet.

A series of small tsunami waves have hit the coast of Japan after a large underwater earthquake prompted fears that coastal regions would be deluged by a killer wave.

 

Thousands of people living near the sea on the northern island of Hokkaido were urged to flee to higher ground.

 

Experts issued a tsunami warning for parts of Japan - and the Russian coast - after the 8.1-magnitude quake in the Kuril islands, about 1,000 miles from Tokyo.

Everything built in the last 30 years in Japan has been tested for worst case scenarios.

It wont be as bad as New Orleans or anything.

 

They invest in their infastructure to ensure that quakes and waves don't screw up their day to day lives.

 

Worth case scenarios are a few people will die and some houses will have to be refurnished I imagine.
