How do protect yourself during a tsunami?

Answer 1

Firstly, you must not panic or you will not be able to think clearly. Next, you should evacuate to higher ground immediately, perhaps to hills or to high buildings like hotels (not advisable as it may collapse) so that won't stumble when the warnings are given, either on a radio or television. You should also carry a bag or backpack, etc. with essentials (passport, portable radio, cash, food that won't overdue easily and can also fill your stomach, liquid to drink, clothes, torch, lifejacket, etc.).

Answer 2

To protect yourself from a tsunami you should have a bag with essential items such as a water bottle, snacks, torch etc. If there is a tsunami warning, evacuate to higher land, AWAY from coastal areas. Try to move to stable land that will not be effect from the tsunami, such as a building that is far from the coast. Stay until the tsunami is over and someone has said.
Go inland to high ground.

Tsunami's are large ocean waves. Just before a tsunami wave comes ashore there is a major receding of the water out to sea, which is called a 'drawback'. People who observe a drawback (many survivors report an accompanying sucking sound), can survive only if they immediately run for high ground or seek the upper floors of nearby buildings.

The tsunami that struck Japan 2011 had waves that were upward of 133 feet high and went inland up to 6 miles.

The tsunami that struck Indonesia in 2004 had waves upward to 80 to 100 feet high.
