Just figure out what you need IN YOUR AREA..which is going to be
significantly different than my needs in MY area..and do whatever
needs to be done.
Bad things happen to good people, at the worst possible
times...occasionally. Some are far worse than others.
Pompei, 1776 Colonial America, France in 1789, Japan 2011, Cascade
Subduction Zone...soon..maybe ..Madrid Fault.....just a tiny sample of
bad things that no one expected. Shrug

You being nearly on top of the San Andreas Fault line puts you in
pretty deep ****.

True indeed. However..Ive mitigated as many risks as possible, and
have made plans and preperations to handle as many of the issues as
possible. There are other faults in the West, along with inside of
California, that can cause far..far bigger havok than just the San
Andreas. A number of them directly under the LA Basin.

And the "good news" is that California has known about earthquakes
for decades.

Here in the PacNorWest, they keep evidence of serious earthquakes
in the past as well as finding faults they didn't know about. Like
the one which runs down puget sound and then turns east under the old
King Dome. That whole section of Seattle is built on fill, not to
earthquake standards. When it cuts loose Elliot "bay" will be a bay
again.
And that is before we get to the subduction zone off the coast.
When that cuts loose (any time between noon and fifty years from now)
and a couple hundred miles of fault line gives way - you'll know. Have
no doubt - you'll know.
