As I'm sure you're aware preventing a tsunami occurring will never be practically possible, so efforts have been focused on disaster management and early warning systems.
The Indian ocean Tsunami in 2004 devastated coastal communities, predominately in the south-east (the state of Tamil Nadu was particularly affected) and India for a while was the third-worst affected country: Over 10,000 people died in India alone and a large proposition of the 985,000 people may experience symptoms such as post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.
With this in mind, in the immediate aftermath, The Tsunami Relief and Rehabilitation Coordination was established in January 2005 to organize state level discussions on state-civil society partnership, observing human rights and the situation for tsunami-affected children.
The Indian Prime Minister's National Relief Fund was established by Manmohan Singh to help fund the relief effort.
As well as dealing with the considerable internal problems, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, in partnership with the Indian defence forces and the Home Ministry, coordinated relief operations to other badly affected countries such as Sri Lanka, Maldives and Indonesia.
Further down the line, India played an important role in the meetings and conferences of UNISDR (United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction) as its Incident Command System (ICS) (an all-hazards system used to swiftly launch clear and operative expertise and coordination power in emergencies) has been used successfully for years in India as well as the US. Improvements have been made to this system since.
NGOs (Non-Government organisations) have been allowed to work on identifying practical steps to guarantee that civic concerns are better incorporated into public strategies.
Booklets on Tsunami awareness, using an old Japanese story "Inamura-no-hi" about tsunamis have been distributed.
India has worked with UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) to develop community-based approaches and start initiatives to evaluate community-based mechanisms for disaster preparation and to fortify propagation mechanisms of early warnings to populations as well as record and circulate lessons learned and good practices for 2004. This goes hand in hand with All India Disaster Mitigation Institute (AIDMI) and UNISDR work on spreading micro-finance initiatives as they help in tsunami risk mitigation and speed recovery in affected areas.

How can you reduce a tsunami?
You cannot reduce a tsunami. Just like other natural calamities like earthquake and volcanic eruptions, you cannot predict or reduce it. However, you can reduce its impact by taking protective measures outlined by responsible authorities.
How do you prevent a tsunami happening again?
To prevent a tsunami from happening again, it is important to implement early warning systems that can detect seismic activity and issue alerts quickly. Building and maintaining seawalls, barriers, and vegetation along coastlines can help reduce the impact of a tsunami. Community preparedness and education programs can also help mitigate the effects of a tsunami by educating people on evacuation procedures and safety measures.
What are some measures that have been taken since the Christmas Day Tsunami?
Three measures that have been took are and are not limited to them building more tsunami resistant buildings that are within tsunami range, have had every house hold prepare an emergency plan during this emergency, and have improved the emergency services response ability's after this type of natural disaster.
What are non-structural mitigation measures for tsunami?
Non-structural mitigation measures for tsunamis include early warning systems, community education and preparedness programs, land use planning and zoning regulations to restrict development in high-risk areas, vegetation buffers such as mangroves to reduce wave energy, and building codes that require structures to be designed to resist tsunami forces.
How can you reduce a tsunami's impact?
Dense mangrove habitats reduce the force of waves and reduce the pressure. Coral reefs may be artificially constructed: these have been shown to reduce the impact of tsunamis. Better education of residents about evacuation procedures. In conjunction with this, early warning systems need to be devised. Building settlements further inland and away from the lowest-lying regions also reduce the impact on people" if people do not live there. impact is minimized. This, however, is rarely economically viable.
