Tsunamis are caused by undersea landslides, which are generally caused by earthquakes. We can't know when these events will occur.
The key thing is to be able to quickly recognize when this happens and to react appropriately. Having a plan to move quickly to higher ground, or to evacuate the area, these are about the only plans we can make.
There was a primitive tribe in the Andaman Islands in which the ancient lore called for all the people to come to the mountain temple whenever there was an earthquake. Because all the villagers followed their tradition, everybody was at the temple, and high above sea level, when the 2004 tsunami hit.
