Run like mad uphill till your legs or lungs gave out, then crawl uphill till your hands and knees gave out, then pay somebody to carry you uphill.

I have two dogs. I'd watch for their reaction and head for the hills, where they would naturally run to. It was amazing that they found NO animals in the Bandah Aceh tsunami. They all felt it coming and hightailed it out of the towns near the ocean.
