That is the problem, no earthquake preparedness, either in buildings OR in 
response.

Out here, all the native Californians know what to do, do panic and in most 
cities there are several volunteer groups ready to jump into action.

When Loma Prieta hit, the volunteer groups were out there before the 
professionals in the neighborhoods.  Within an hour, all the groups with 
search and rescue dogs were on their way there.  And so forth and so on.
