No. While a tsunami can be considered a type of flood, most floods are not tsunamis. A tsunami is a flood resulting from a large, long wavelength wave usually triggered by an undersea earthquake. Flooding can occur in a number of other ways and due to a number of causes, the most common of which is too much rain.
