Know the Hazards: Tsunamis and Tidal Waves

Tsunamis are most common in Asia, islands in the Pacific and along the West Coast of the United States. However, experts say seismic activity is possible under the Atlantic Ocean, which could trigger Tsunamis on the East Coast. The last documented tsunami on the East Coast struck Canada in the 1929.
