The Quileute Tribe of Washington is preparing for a potential tsunami disaster that scientists and officials says is inevitable.
The tribe held a tsunami drill in LaPush. The coastal town is considered especially vulnerable to tidal waves and earthquakes.
The recent South Asian tsunami has made reservation residents more aware of the danger. Tribal history confirms a tsunami last hit the coast in 1700.
