Sure, I suppose the result might be alarming to them. But there is no guarantee that every bit of inhabited land will remain inhabitable forever. The reverse is also true. Millions of people live on land now that was uninhabitable in the not too distant past. Myself and those islanders included.
In terms of geological processes I would think that the prospect of a major catastrophic earthquake under downtown LA is far more alarming than the slow subsidence of some tiny islands.
