I was recently in the Santa Cruz - Monterey area and noticed that there were no visible tsunami sirens anywhere. Does anyone know what these cities do to warn the people?

In the cities or towns that don't have sirens They most likely use reverse 911... But don't quote me on that its' just a guess.

It's not a issue until there's a tsunami...

Oddly enough, the Santa Cruz Office of Emergency Services basically says to "learn to count the duration of the Earthquake", and "if you count to 20 seconds, leave as quickly as it is safe to do so".
Fool proof, right?

I don't know about those counties, but San Luis Obispo County has 2001s for the nuclear power plant. Not sure if they're also for tsunami warning, but I would hope so at least for the coastal areas of SLO County.

Huntington Beach, CA has T-28's according to this video. It has a nice sound to it as well. I guess its not a whole coast wide thing to invest in a mass notification system although when you think about it it really should be

When I was there the system of
s (Sorry I love that emoji) were used for the nuclear power plant. But if I am not mistaken they use the sirens... and use the same signal at that... for both situations as both of them mean to go to the same place... (I saw a nuclear power plant on the shore... Not sure if they have more than one but... If that is the case then you would basically be moving away from the shore as you would in a tsunami... But they have a heck ton of sirens there.) Hope that makes any sense.
