In instances where the leading edge of the tsunami wave is its trough, the sea will recede from the coast half of the wave's period before the wave's arrival.
People unaware of the danger may remain at the shore due to curiosity, or for collecting fish from the exposed sea bed.
In instances where the leading edge of the tsunami is its first peak, succeeding waves can lead to further flooding.
Being educated about a tsunami is important, to realize that when the water level drops the first time, the danger is not yet over.
Computer models can roughly predict tsunami arrival and impact based on information about the event that triggered it and the shape of the seafloor and coastal land.
One of early warnings comes from nearby animals. Many animals sense danger and flee to higher ground before the water arrives.
While it is not possible to prevent a tsunami, in some particularly tsunami-prone countries some measures have been taken to reduce the damage caused on shore.
The effects of a tsunami can be mitigated by natural factors such as tree cover on the shoreline.
