The issue should be framed as what are the chances your home or workplace will collapse during a major earthquake.

I believe a reasonable person will conclude taking reasonable precautions to supplant overwhelmed first responders is the only investment a person need to actually plan in event of a nearby major earthquake.

To believe your family will be harmed by a collapsed building in California is unreasonable hysteria.

Our construction standards have been upgraded to survive the quake.

The few block radius of destruction is infinitesimally small to predict.

Thanks. What about all the elevated freeways in LA? Looking at the helicopter reports from the Northridge quake, the collapses are pretty terrifying.
