I think there is some public knowledge of some of the offshore faults, and since Tohoku, or maybe before, there are tsunami signs at the coasts at UCSB, and even back near the Santa Barbara airport, which filled a salt marsh on part. There was a tsunami from the second 1812 southern California quake (although no agreement on what fault broke). There was a local tsunami from the 1927 Lompoc quake.

I did not know there were already signs. That's good there's some awareness.

You mentioning tsunami reminded me, I recall now there is concern that it's not just due to fault action, but due to underwater landslides. Those of course can make for large very local tsunami, right?
