I live in southern Japan under the threat of the Nanaki trough earthquake.

My local area is expected to be about 7m under water (roughly 22 feet for you Neanderthals) and there are yearly evacuation drills, tsunami siren tests, tall buildings have agreed to be shelters and a lot of money poured into awareness and prep. Everyone is encouraged to work our their evac plan and meeting points in advanced, and most have some form of a bug-out bag. Where I live in particular the elevation is low and there are few tall buildings. Many area senior citizens have a bit of a fatalistic attitude of if everyone prepares but if it happens, they will do what they can but beyond that, who knows.
