How can people prepare for a tsunamis?

You can't prepare for Tsunamis. They come at towns/cities quite fast. You can help reduce some of the effects by planting a wall of mangroves around the town/city, though. The mangroves absorb some of the energy coming from the massive wave. But like I said before, there's really not that much you can to do stop them. If there is a Tsunami, find higher grounds and hope for the best.

Could tsunamis be used as a source of energy?

No. To be used as a power source something must be consistent and predictable over a long period of time. Tsunamis are neither. With respect to human life tsunamis are random occurrences. Predictions of where a tsunami will impacts cannot be made until it has been triggered, giving us at most a few hours to prepare. Tsunamis are also fairly rare. Setting up a system to be powered by something that will not even occur most years would not be cost-effective.
