2006年11月15日星期三，加利福尼亚州德尔诺特县新月城港，在千岛群岛8.3级地震引发的海啸中，据估计，强海流给公民码头的小船港造成70万至100万美元的损失，摧毁或损坏了三个浮动码头，并对几艘船只造成轻微损坏（图1）.这次活动突出了海啸减灾方面的一个长期问题：大多数人仍然没有意识到，第一次海啸很少是最大的，破坏性的海浪可能会持续数小时。
On Wednesday, 15 November 2006, Crescent City Harbor, in Del Norte County, Calif., was hit by surges resulting from the tsunami generated by the Mw= 8.3 Kuril Islands earthquake. The strong currents caused an estimated US $700,000 to $1 million in losses to the small boat basin at Citizen's Dock, destroying or damaging three floating docks and causing minor damage to several boats (Figure l).The event highlighted a persistent problem for tsunami hazard mitigation: Most people are still unaware that the first tsunami waves rarely are the largest and that the potential for damaging waves may last for many hours.
