tsunamis are uaually predicted if an earthquake occurs befor then you can expect a tsunami to happen next if you live in a city or town with a ocean near by.
Tsunamis are predicted using both satellite and electronic equipment which detects the slightest tremor in the ocean. Calculations are then made about distance from shore, recent weather and the size of the tremor to estimate the probibility.
