moran says, "the huu-ay-aht council was wise to accept the advice of its elders and build its new administration building high above pachena bay because it’s only a matter of time before another devastating tsunami arrives." although residents still live primarily in lower-lying areas, they are evacuated to the administration building when a tsunami warning is issued; this is an interim step toward a longer-term plan which will eventually see the residents relocated to higher ground as well.
