I didn't mean it was a non-event for Chile. I'm talking about the warnings on the other side of the Pacific. Say a coastal town in Chile was 100 km from the epicentre. Consider somewhere that is 10000 km away, like an island in the western Pacific. The inverse square law says that the wave energy reduction factor is of the order of 1/(100)^2, i.e. a factor of 1/10000 (all other things being equal). Considering that the wave was small at locations on the coast of Peru, the idea that a serious tsunami was going to hit NZ was laughable.
