    A safety concern many new arrivals will have would be tidal waves and tsunamis. What is the contingency plan regarding this?

    Power is the least of my worries.

    As a base i am thinking refitted oil rigs. a few of them intererlinked.

    The same as with drilling platforms.

    Make sure everything is bolted down outside and lock the doors inside.

    It would be designed from the ground up to be able to survive these kind of natural occurences.

    The Seasteading Institute has been working on a new approach involving communities floating above the sea in spar buoys, similar to oil platforms.[10] The project would start small, using proven technology as much as possible, and try to find viable, sustainable ways of running a seastead.[11] Innovations that enable full-time living at sea will have to be developed. The cruise ship industry's development suggests this may be possible.
    A proposed design for a custom-built seastead is a floating dumbbell in which the living area is high above sea level, which minimizes the influence of waves. During the last couple of years, research has been documented in an online book that covers living on the oceans.[12]
    The Seasteading Institute focuses on three areas: building a community, doing research and building the first seastead in the San Francisco Bay. In January 2009, The Seasteading Institute patented a design for a 200-person resort seastead, ClubStead, about a city block in size, produced by consultancy firm Marine Innovation & Technology. ClubStead marks the first major development in hard engineering, from extensive analysis to simulations, of the seasteading movement.[12][13]
    Awesome.

    I like the idea.

    Indeed, as far as I know, the only structure similar, would be those islands in Dubai. But those are based on sand. Where as this is totally man made I guess.

    Someone wanted to build islands off Cape Towns Coast.
