    Actually, earthquakes only occur along major fault lines where two tectonic plates meet. These faults and the areas surrounding them are the areas in immediate risk of an earthquake. While there are relatively many places an earthquake can occur, they can’t happen anywhere and everywhere.

    @cdltpx every country has plaque tectonic I think and not only in California so these tectonics change but no one know when but god he is only know what to do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There isa a website that the USGS has on line that will give you accurate up to date quake data. I live in Louisiana and found that they had a quake in Paincourtville La there are fault lines all over the world and you are correct quake can happen any where any time. It is exactly why every one should never leave home withot water and a small survival kit you can assemble one that weighs less than 2 lbs. Plenty of examples on this site jazz it up your way kit is essential.

    I use to go to Sacremento all the time to that TA out there. I really am not an expert on quakes but have interest in survival in the event I am in the area when one happens. Truckers have to be prepared pay attention to the news never let your guard down.
    Check a earthquake website to see if you have danger I have to say any place could be open for a quake. You might be where the crust decides to rip open.

    If you live in earthquake country get your camping gear ready. I suggest hammocks they are the most comfortable have a scram bag ready try to store water in crates JIC they are tossed a bit. Please have sleeping bag too dress in layers plan for this have gloves in your bag never hurts to learn some rope skills. I love SF the town is so beautiful but our nation has many zones LEARN WHERE THEY ARE. In your car carry water at least a gal per person. Emergency blankets are life savers too.

    When stuff shakes like maybe a candle falling or something like a crappy multi outlet which create sparks which maybe causes a fire but that’s just my opinion
