The key is to reach high ground as quicky as possibly. Communities facing a tsunami risk will often have erected signed to indicate when you you have entered a tsunami inundation zone and when you have exited the risk zone. Additionally, there are often routes indicating the shortest route to high ground. In the event of a local tsunami caused by a local earthquake, the evacuation can prove challenging as the road network will likely have been severely damaged by the earthquake. It’s often advisable that your evacuation be executed on foot as driving may prove impossible.
