Always have a bag ready with all the necessities in it in case your area has been told to evacuate. If you have had no warning and a tsunami occurs out of no where you should try and get to the highest point that you can.

You should prepare a luggage with all your valuables such as passports, cash, jewellery. You should also bring food, clothes, torchlights and water with you. Evacuate immediately to higher ground when the warning is given.

Not much can be done, but there are basic things to do. I live in CA and we are prone to earthquakes so to prep I have gotten a plastic garbage can and put items inside. Bottled water, first aide kit, flashlight, wrench ( to turn of gas lines), space blanket, and a few other things. Sealed it with with duck tape. Also I have my tent and camping gear in a rolling suitcase. I can grab and of these things, load them into the car, or take them out of the garage if there is a need.

You can not prepare for a tsunami. This is because scientists can never predict tsunamis to occur, they just happen at anytime and you wont know. Sorry about being so negative, buts its true. However scientist have now come up with a tsunami detector with pick up where a tsunami is going to hit, it is placed in the Ocean and it gives the people on land a bit of time to evacuate.

You Watch the news and they will tell you. You can always plan for any desaster when it happens, the best thing that you can do to protect yourself is go on your roof or the highest place close to you. The WORST thing you could do is hide in a bottom level of your house, if you have one. always go higher, higher is better!

What year does a tsunami occur?

There are no years that we can expect a tsunami, they are caused by a multitude of things, though typically arise due to seismic activity, which in itself is very difficult to speculate and any signs that a tsunami may occur would likely be very close to the time that it would occur itself. As a result, tsunamis are difficult to prepare for and for the most part have completely unexpected implications on the affected regions, such as a tsunami moving extremely fast towards a populated city that is unaware of its existence.
