Maybe they should build some large reinforced concrete buildings that can act as tsunami shelters and also fulfil a secondary function such as public library (do they still have those) or offices/shops or whatever. Maybe 100 ft high would be enough, but design it so that people can survive inside it even if it is temporarily overrun by the tsunami.
Or you could build a larger number of small reinforced shelters that would be designed to be overrun but would keep people alive until the tsunami retreats.

There are just very small town on the coasts and the coastal mountain range rises very quickly from the coast. You can get to high ground from just about anywhere on the coast fairly quickly.
