Annually, on average, 182(+197/−123) people will be affected by impact-induced waves with a corresponding infrastructure loss of $18(+20/−12)M/y. Half of the tsunami hazard stems from impactors with diameters less than 300m. One near Earth asteroid will survive atmospheric transit and strike somewhere into Earth's oceans every 5880years, on average. In the mean generic scenario, the tsunami from the impact affects 1.1million people and destroys $110B of infrastructure.
