Insofar as Nations go, Japan is the best prepared with building codes designed to withstand even this catastrophe. It could have been MUCH, much worse in any other major city.
If anything, they're probably too lulled by the frequent tremors. -Look at some clips showing employees trying too limit product damage instead of seeking personal safety.
Nothing you can do about the Tsunami except not stand around looking at the incredible destruction going on around you and hope you're not in it's path. Both difficult and unpredictable.
..And I reflect all the above concerns to Japan and it's People as well.
