Best Answer

Any coastal port/ city (as well as some inland ones), are always vulnerable to a tsunami.

While tsunamis which are generated by earthquakes are the most common (and these are in now well defined zones), not all tsunamis are generated by them.

Tsunami can also be generated by under sea landslides or meteorite impacts.
