DJ-A once in a thousend years or less event is very hard to predict-statistics only give false illusions. Proberbly planet Earth should expect a "major event"-like a very largo volcano eruption, a megaquake causing a megatsunami or maybe even an asteroid-very unlikely events that did not happen the last 200-maybe even 2000 years. (Even during that time-even the 200 years-a lot of things were unnoticed-we did not have a lot of technology in the 19th century. Some major events only were discovered later on.)
On the article of Hal Turner itself:
1-A tsunami (most of the times several waves) moving inland will follow low lying grounds-rivers etc. One could be relatively safe in a high spot near the coast-but be in danger in a low spot far inland. 2-A mega-tsunami will transport billions of tons of water. Such an amount of water could put pressure on the US West Coast-causing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions by themselves-a chain reaction. 3-Also such a tsunami may transport water of a different temperature to warmer/colder area's-bringing its own weather system. A mega-wave hitting the coast will bring a lot of watervapor in the air-could cause/increase rainfall, maybe storms-on grounds not hit by the tsunami itself. 4-Since the tsunami (1 meter by 1 meter by 1 meter-a cubic meter=1000 kilo's) would destroy everything on its path (and there most likely will be several waves) chemical plants, (nuclear) power plants etc. will be effected-bringing their own risks (like Fukushima) on top of the tsunami.
Knowledge is power to (re)act. Not only humans could be evacuated also chemicals, processes should be "planned". Having food and water in safe places-as a government-for possible worst case scenario's would be a good idea.
What is wrong with government giving no permission to build (anything) in low lying area's? In Naples-Italy-the government is paying people to move out of a high-risk area near the Vesuvius. Here in the Netherlands people near the river sometimes have to move-so the river can have more room for flooding with les damage.
(Major) Disasters happen from time to time-be realistic about it. Both as a citizen and a government. Not building anything in high risk area's is a cheap way to limit risks. Also giving information of risks and how to deal with them is a government job (even in poor countries !).
The Japan M9 earthquake from march 2011 was believed to be impossible by most experts. Now their story did change https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/12/20/japanese-government-warns-impending-mega-quake-large-one-caused/" rel="nofollow - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/12/20/japanese-government-warns-impending-mega-quake-large-one-caused/ .
Even when the Hawaii volcano would stop-mega landslides or a real risk from Alaska to Patagonia, Canary-Islands to Japan. Large chunks of ice dropping into the ocean from Greenland to Antarctica could cause major disasters as well. Lets be realistic about that.
