Some of the leading scientists in the field of Oceanography, Geology and Geophysics are speculating that the possibility of the Caribbean region experiencing a major tsunami in the eminent future “is only a matter of time”. A tsunami disaster is highly likely in the future as six damaging tsunamis have occurred in the last century. These are most likely to be more damaging than past events as the coastal areas are more developed,” asserts a University of the West Indies research report written by James Lander.Lander goes on to document the near 2400 fatalities that tsunamis have caused throughout the Caribbean from 1692-1946, and concludes that “the current history is sufficient to indicate that there is a significant hazard from future tsunamis.”
