My main concern with this is whether this mounded dirt will leave the area more vulnerable to major earthquake damage, subsidence, liquefaction etc. Perhaps there is some way of stabilizing the fill with modern technology? I just know that usually areas built on fill have the most structural problems during a quake. That being said, generally if there is a threat that is location specific, relocation is a good solution. You can't move the tsunami, but you can move your house. I'm curious how it will all work out.
