How about a water-tight bunker in the backyard. Maybe could make something from a small shipping container, very well anchored. Or excavate and pour a proper concrete bunker. The tsunami would temporarily submerge it, not sure how long, minutes not hours I would guess, and subsequent waves would do that again intermittently over the next 12 hours. Need some way to get air in and CO2 out during the periods when it’s not submerged, to keep it mostly dry inside, to see when it’s safe to come out, listen to emergency radio, and an exit that won’t be blocked by debris or sand - maybe the waves will move enough sand to bury the bunker and you have to dig out. Ideally you have a month of stores as well.

You know, I bet there is a (small) market for drop-in turn-key survival bunkers. Topic for another thread.
