Tsunamis manifest themselves as a series of large waves that approach the coast at high speed. These natural hazards are the outcome of underwater earthquakes. When they hit the coastline, make sure to be as far inland as possible or inside a tsunami-proof building. Any elevated ground would do, as well.
