So the way most people protect themselves in a tsunami is to run inland about 2km or more or they try to climb to higher ground but those who are unlucky and get swept by the tsunami protect themselves by hanging onto debris such as cars, trees and even roofs.The best way you can protect yourself is to know the warning signs if you see these warning signs don't wait or hesitate run as far inland as you can and climb about 100 feet (30m) high. If you do get swept by the tsunami and manage to survive your best course of action is to hold onto debris flowing past or climb a tree to higher ground because a tsunami is not just one wave its multiple and they can be anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour apart. If you did manage to get to higher ground do not leave your spot even if you think the tsunami has stopped because it hasn't wait for official word before leaving your spot.
