The odd thing is that they are about 3 times as likely to die in a tornado in Kansas than an earthquake in LA.
What about their chance to become homeless?
There was a study a couple of years ago by UCLA. They’ve concluded that a 7.0+ is likely to happen in the next 30 years somewhere along San Andreas Fault in Southern California.
LA may be fine, but San Bernardino and Palm Springs sit directly on top of the fault. Last time we had a 7.0 in a populated area in the U.S., 63 people died and around 20,000 buildings were damaged.
