Seems to me that it's mostly people from Europe who are pushing this:
"The U.S. and Austrian lawyers filed the lawsuit on behalf of around 60 named plaintiffs from Austria, Germany, France, Netherlands and elsewhere. Podovsovnik said they were also acting on behalf of at least 40 more not named."

ANd they were notified:
"Published reports emerged that upon receipt of the NOAA alert and other data, the seismological and oceanographic experts of Thailand spent more than one hour talking about what the risk may or may not have been, instead of immediately issuing a warning to their population," it said.

It's not about the money; It's more like they are trying to place blame on the US saying we didn't warn anyone about a possible even three thousand miles away. I'm also willing to bet that this lawsuit is trying to set it up for a second lawsuit - where money would be involved.
