I know it may seem calous, but be thankful that this was out to sea, had it been right next to a major city, such as tokyo or LA, then the death toll would have been much greater.

As for a warning system, I would imagine that its only so good as you've got time to give out a warning, looking at a map of where this happened, any such warning would not have made it out in time to save many if any.
Blessed Be,
