You can't stop the mega earthquake, but you can be prepared for it, if it does happen. Make sure you have an action plan and a stash of food, water, small denomination cash, clothing, emergency supplies and first aid readily available.
There is no God. I've been hanging out on this board for quite a few years and that's what I've learned.
There is a scientific explanation for everything.

Not much you can do about naturally occurring earthquakes, but if the ground you live on is quaking and you live near some fracturing locations, you may want to start raising awareness.
COuld you elaborate on this? I've got added earthquake coverage. It only added ~7% $ but it didn't occur to me it's a scam.
The amount charged vs the statistical probability that earthquake damage will actually affect your property is astronomical. All insurance adjusts costs/risk in the insurer's favor but earthquake coverage is off the charts.
That being said, I live on a nasty fault zone and have been thinking about putting a disaster kit together with some water, nonperishable food, basic survival supplies.

I was expecting the extra coverage to double my premium, I live on a fault zone also (and have a full earthquake preparedness kit and bugout bag & plan),
I was pretty surprised to see the added cost was minimal.
Yeah, honestly I kinda see it like the lottery in reverse - sure, it's statistically beyond unlikely and that money will probably see no return, but if you win you're set for life. So a few bucks here & there is entertaining. Hit the magic # for an earthquake and you're fucked - so those $$ buy some peace of mind even if it's not a sound investment mathematically.
My other suspicion with the earthquake risk models is that no one really really knows. The sample size is too small because that stuff's operating on a geologic timescale.

Huge deductibles and actual coverage. Having seen what my cousins went thru in the Sylmar Quake in the early 70's I figured out quickly: Take the low interest loan you'll get for it being declared a disaster area.
Full disclosure: I think all insurance is a sucker's bet. Cards and otherwise.
