I have the good fortune to be near the top of a fairly high hill far enough  
inland that I would be involved in picking up pieces of other areas.  This  is 
much better than where I grew up down in Texas: the land really is so flat  
that a major tsunami could hit as far north as Austin, and most would funnel up 
 the ship channel and obliterate Houston.  In my present situation, my  
preparation would be the same as usual: keep a lot of fully charged batteries  and 
see to it the rigs are in top shape.

For those who want to  contemplate what disasters involving tsunamis could be 
I recommend reading  LUCIFER'S HAMMER by Larry Niven.  Great, if unsettling, 
storytelling and  the science of the story was meticulously researched.
