if i remeber correctly, a few years ago, they said a mayor eatherquak has a 60% of acurring in California with in 30 years. If you live in a eathquack zone, make sure you house will survive, if it can't now, than retrofit it so it can. Most houses can be retrofitted for very little money. And equip your self, but i don't have to explain that to you, right ?
