+ 1: don't build major cities on fault lines.
- arethuza 10y agoAlthough you may want to consider incorporating a fault scarp into your city defences: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_Gate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_Gate

- Pica_soO 10y agoI wonder, if a catastrophe is to be expected, is it cynical, to create replacement infrastructure (sewage, waterpiping, streets, electricity) at a safer location nearby and once the disaster strikes to reroute the refugee streams too that location?
- kowdermeister 10y agoI'd call that responsible instead of cynical. If you know in advance that an asteroid is about to hit Earth, except the exact location you'd do the same. In the case of SF, an entire continent is approaching very-very-very slowly.
