I would like to see pervasive earthquake and tsunami warning systems developed. Even on land, a 20-30 second earthquake warning could provide a crucial margin for many people. Tsunami warnings could easily be in the hour+ range which could save many lives. The USA eastern seaboard faces some potentially deadly threats from the Canary Islands, so it is in our interest to expand such systems.
