It is simply amazing what the government will waste money on!  My response 
to that is "no duh.  Now someone tell me something I don't already know."

We have a major quake about every 10 to 20 years and always have, so 
predicting one within 30 years is a no brainer.

When we bought in Humboldt County we looked at the houses with earthquakes 
and flooding in mind.  We bought a solid redwood built prior to 1903, that 
had easily withstood the 1906 quake and all the ones that came after.  Solid 
redwood may twist a bit, might even jump off the foundation (ours hadn't) in 
a REALLY big one but you jack it up and put it back.  Heck, that house still 
has the original windows in it!
