3 to 4 ft waves of the Fukashima tsunami of 2011 reached the coasts of Oregon and California. Some boats tied up at piers where the waves washed in were seriously damaged by the waves smashing the boats up against each other and the piers. From news media reports of the damage, I think the boat owners were totally surprised by the amount of damage those small waves caused.
what precautionary measures are taken to minimize the damage caused by the tsunami
The most destructive tsunami in United States history was in 1964 when a magnitude 9.2 earthquake in Alaska triggered a tsunami along the West Coast. It caused significant damage in Alaska, Oregon, and California, resulting in loss of life and widespread destruction.
The earthquake in Japan caused more damage overall than the tsunami. The powerful earthquake triggered the tsunami and also led to widespread destruction of buildings, infrastructure, and loss of lives. The tsunami primarily affected coastal areas with devastating flooding and destruction.

In the news, people said a tsunami caused the damage in Japan. (There is a rumor when this happened, the world would end forever.)
No. The tsunami did reach California and caused some damage there, but tsunamis do not affect weather.
it depends on how much damage was caused
Yes, there were reports of a small tsunami hitting the coast of Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. However, the damage caused by the tsunami was minimal compared to the devastation from the earthquake.
The worst tsunami in history is the tsunami that was caused in the Indian Ocean by an earthquake in 2004. Millions of people were left homeless in eleven countries and almost 150,000 people left dead.
The tsunami hit the main island of Japan and other northeastern islands plus it hit the coast of California and caused a lot of damage to boats and harbors. The damage to people who's lives depended on the boats for fishing were affected severely. The tsunami also hit the Hawaiian Islands and caused a lot of damage.
A tsunami can cause significant damage due to its powerful waves and flooding, impacting large areas along coastal regions. In comparison, Godzilla is a fictional giant monster known for causing destruction in movies, but the damage caused by a tsunami in reality far surpasses the fictional impact of Godzilla.
There is no real record of the smallest tsunami. In some countries tsunamis are frequent and go unnoticed at times. Also, tsunamis can happen in lakes or even a pool.
