There are no doubt a few other interesting things that will happen (runoff directions taken far more seriously, underpasses avoided like the plague, etc.), but the fundamental answer to not having your city destroyed is building it on higher ground. Note that while many people don't listen, or perhaps their situation provides no better choice, the real-world practical, historical response to tsunami-prone areas has always been "don't build there." | |

Especially in tsunami like environments, were the water contains abrassive materials like scrap from houses, people, etc. The hills would need to be cased with concrete. | |
