At this point, all coastal counties of California, Oregon, and Washington are in *warning* status. That means anyone in a "tsunami warning zone" should prepare to evacuate.
Those areas have 'reverse 911' systems that call all telephone numbers in a region ... those are starting to fire off now. Also the sirens are starting in various coastal towns.
Keep in mind, we're not necessarily about to see a 'movie level disaster' (though the Japan video is quite, um, impressive)... but many areas will probably evacuate to be on the safe side.
