If the Gov't have access to Tsunami warning buoys, seismographs etc, they can spot the initial disturbance in time to get people away from coastal areas. Radio broadcasts, tv, can be used to tell people to evacuate.

What are the tsunami warning devices?
A Tsunami Warning System (TWS) is a system to detect tsunamis and issue warnings to prevent loss of life and property. It consists of two equally important components: a network of sensors to detect tsunamis and a communications infrastructure to issue timely alarms to permit evacuation of coastal areas.There are two distinct types of tsunami warning systems: international and regional. Both depend on the fact that, while tsunamis travel at between 500 and 1,000 km/h (around 0.14 and 0.28 km/s) in open water, earthquakes can be detected almost at once as seismic waves travel with a typical speed of 4 km/s (around 14,400 km/h). This gives time for a possible tsunami forecast to be made and warnings to be issued to threatened areas, if warranted. Unfortunately, until a reliable model is able to predict which earthquakes will produce significant tsunamis, this approach will produce many more false alarms than verified warnings. In the correct operational paradigm, the seismic alerts are used to send out the watches and warnings. Then, data from observed sea level height (either shore-based tide gauges or DARTbuoys) are used to verify the existence of a tsunami.
Does the US have Tsunami warnings on their beaches?

What are the warnings for a tsunami?
You can't really predict a tsunami, but If you hear about any underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, that can sometimes mean there will be a tsunami.
Can you hear Tsunamis?
It depends if the tsunami is big or not. Sometimes you can but sometimes you can't. You can hear Tsunami warnings though.
Is a tsunami in Montreal possible?
Yes. If there is an earthquake that might have triggered a tsunami warnings are issued for areas it might impact.
