A Tsunami house is a purposefully designed habitable dwelling which will through its design integrity withstand and survive the forces of a tsunami wave or extreme storm surge. Concomitant with its mechanical strength, it provides its occupants with independent potable water storage for a minimum of two months and has an independent electrical power source provided by generator or solar panel array.The first example known has been constructed at Poovar Island in southern Kerala, India.
