Because scientist don't have a scale that measures tsunami very well
answer 2. Many times the earthquake (or submarine subsidence) that caused the tsunami are quite close, and there is insufficient warning time.
If you are close to a shore and you feel a significant earthquake, expect a tsunami!! If the sea retreats, DO NOT go to gather the fish!!.
Tsunami travel at several hundred km/hour! But may be only a few cm high.
Approaching a shore, the wave increases in height, and decreases in speed.
But is still much faster than you can run.

How does a tsunami warning machine work?
A tsunami warning machine depends on information that comes from a network of sensors. These sensors indicate when an earthquake happens, and geologists decide if a tsunami is likely. If so, they send out a warning. If the wave sensors pick up actual tsunami activity, the tsunami warning machine is activated in each of the areas that is at risk.
