future cascade quake info

https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1248344/big-one-earthquake-forecast-2020-cascadia-earthquakes-news-latest

Erin Wirth, a geophysicist at the University of Washington and the US
Geological Survey, told Geekwire: "We say that there's approximately a
14 percent chance of another approximately magnitude-9 earthquake
occurring in the next 50 years."

------------------

so the odds are slim of a major quake

how much money do you want to spend to beef up seismic safety of blds
vs volcano threats vs mudslide threats vs wildfire threats vs terror
threats vs storm water threats vs etc

maybe the smart thing to do would be to try to mitigate as many
different threats as possible in 1 shot

or to try to find incremental upgrades that make sense
