In the event of a tsunami, the lifeboat would be pulled offshore by the drawback and will wait for a rescue while sending out a distress signal. The boat stocks a week's worth of food and water.

The best-laid plans of mice and men...

I'm assuming its a fully sealed vessel that can't capsize, like the escape boats used by tankers. When do they board? If before, they'll crash into buildings, walls, rocks. etc. and risk being smashed into bits. If afterward, they risk getting drowned by the wave while waiting.
