In other words, be prepared.
Stock up on water and non perishable food. Refill prescriptions. Have a survival kit in the car in case of being caught away from home. Make sure personal protection measures are available and in place.
Good sense measures. don’t expect government to come help when it’s convenient for you.
Ah - no problem. My house is about 1/4 mile from the Hayward fault. If it happens - it happens.
Been there/done that. I’ve lived through the 70 Sylmar quake and Loma Preitta.
Interestingly (and luckily) - the average death tool in CA for the three big quakes that have happened in my life time in populated areas is around 65. In a city of 10 million people - not bad odds.
