Not really, certainly not anymore the any other part of the country that could experience catastrophes of different kinds (Tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, fires, etc etc).Very valid point. Granted current earthquake construction design and materials are as resilient as ever, it's still a great risk.
The earthquakes anybody who lives here worries about at this point with our construction techniques are the massive once every couple generations ones. I live in California for 45 years, could be another 200 before anything significant happens. No different than somebody who lives on the East Coast worrying about hurricanes, or the Midwest and tornadoes. In fact I’d argue that both of those have a higher percentage of a threat short term.
