Is a basement a safe place during a tsunami?
No. A basement is the last place you want to be during a tsunami. A tsunami is a massive surge of water. In a basement you are likely to drown. If a tsunami is coming you want to get as high up as possible. The best option, if you are in the danger zone, is to evacuate to higher ground inland. If you cannot then get to the top floor of you building or a nearby building, even on the roof if possible.
Why is it possible to issue a tsunami warning and not an earthquake warning?
While we understand the basics of what causes earthquakes, we cannot see exactly what is going on inside the earth, so we cannot tell if conditions are setting up for an earthquake in the near future. A tsunami can develop in a matter of minutes, but it takes time to reach land. Depending on the distance it may take several hours. During this time it is possible to predict which areas are at risk, and it is even possible to track the tsunami.
What are some things people can do to survive a tsunami?
One very important step that can be taken to survive a tsunami is to go as far inland as possible. Islands in the path of the tsunami should be evacuated.

Are tsunami predictable?
It depends on what exactly you mean by predictable. If you mean is it possible to predict when a tsunami will happen, then the answer is negative. Tsunami are most commonly caused by seismic activity of tectonic plates, which creates a sudden, violent displacement of water. This means that to predict a tsunami, one must first be able to predict the earthquake, which, at the present time, is not possible. If you mean if it is possible to predict the behaviour of a tsunami, then the answer is yes. Tsunami follow set equations of wave behaviour, and therefore elements such as speed, height, wave period etc can be found and modelled.
How do you survive in earthquake or tsunami?
Stay as far away from them as possible.
