Who has the inside scoop on tsunami warning? How will they know if there is one?

You don't. In the ocean, a tsunami is a wave about the size of Ohio, but only 1-2 inches tall. When it reaches shore, the wave builds into a massive wall of water. You basically don't know until it arrives.

True, but, we have some outposts, such as Shemya Island in the Aleutians, which will provide some warning if there are serious tsunami waves heading for mainland AK. Shouldn't bee all that long now.

really. So the warning system is purely based on earthquake activity?
