The 1964 Great Alaskan Earthquake and Tsunamis-A Modern Perspective and Enduring Legacies. Department of Homeland Security & Emergency Management. Seismic Seiches from the 1964 Alaska Earthquake. Only time will tell if new building codes are strong enough to withstand the next massive Alaskan earthquake. Much to the dismay of some earthquake experts, luxury homes were rebuilt on areas most likely to experience earthquake damage, including on top of the ruins in Turnagain Heights. The demolished towns of Valdez and Chenega were rebuilt on higher ground, but not everyone was prudent about rebuilding on earthquake-prone land. The 1964 Alaska Earthquake taught coastal citizens to run for higher ground at the first sign of strong tremors. The warning system doesn’t monitor local tsunamis, however.
