      The vast majority of big one scenarios will be in the wrong direction to hit port Alberni with a tsunami. They’re mostly expected further south.

      That being said, there are still tsunami sirens in town for a reason. Tsunamis aren’t that fast relatively speaking, and you only need to get a little higher up, 10 meters or so.
