With tsunamis traveling between 500 and 1,000 km/hour, there’s not much time to do much. If you’re in one, praying might be all that you can do.
If you read the information in the above links, you will notice that (a) there can be many false alarms - not all earthquakes will cause a tsunami, and (b) there might be no warning of a tsunami at all - either because the earthquake or sudden sea floor disturbance is undetected or it’s so close to where you are that it hits before there’s any chance of a timely warning. It’s part of what makes earthquakes and tsunamis so tragic - not enough, or no, warning to prevent massive devastation and loss of life.
To ease your anxiety, read more about tsunamis and where they are most likely to hit, then calculate your odds of being in a tsunami zone. A once in a hundred year chance of a tsunami will mean that you will be caught flat-footed should one occur, nobody can maintain a state of vigilance over a span of years.
On the other hand, about all you might do is prepare a “ditch bag” - something we carried ready on our boat should we have to abandon it far from shore. It might be as large as a duffel bag, but probably should be no bigger than a backpack that you could carry on your back.
I’m not big on carrying a lot of cash in the case of an emergency, especially nowadays where credit cards or debit cards are used just about everywhere. I carry a credit/debit card that would be used only in an emergency. Remember, you’re getting far away from your home, so access to money is the most important item you can carry. Everything else can be bought once you get out of the area.
I also have a small-ish charging battery for my cell phone - not terribly big, since it’s for emergency use only. The ditch bag would have a plug for it to recharge, so in an evacuation I’d be able to keep going. (I have a solar battery charger that is in our house/apartment for loss of power - not for carrying).
Since I live miles inland from a coastline, everything I might need is in my purse - I won’t need to evacuate.

A long high giant wave caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruption under the sea. Tsunami waves do not dramatically increase in height. But as the waves travel inland But as the waves travel inland, they build up to higher and higher heights as the depth of the ocean decreases. The speed of tsunami waves depends on ocean depth rather than the distance from the source of the wave. Tsunami waves may travel as fast as jet planes over deep waters, only slowing down when reaching shallow waters. While tsunamis are often referred to as tidal waves.
