The big one will happen, and it's going to suck, but it won't be the end of the world. Modern structures built to more exacting standards will still be standing

The big one will happen, and it's going to suck, but it won't be the end of the world. Modern structures built to more exacting standards will still be standing. Infrastructure like water and electricity will be unusable for some time, but with immediate stores of water and the inevitable aid this shouldn't be deadly. I'd be nervous about spending a lot of time in old, brick buildings, but otherwise I expect that I and most people I know will be fine. Note that this is said as a resident of Seattle - I would be way more nervous if I were on the Oregon coast.
