I can beat that. Here 45 years, same.
I do agree about your risk assessment. For water, those who have water heaters (rather than tankless systems) have a ready supply of drinkable water. Assuming that it isn't damaged/inaccessible after the earthquake. But, it is also possible a separate storage of water could be inaccessible after an earthquake.
- bigtunacan 6y agoWe had a twenty year old water heater that finally called it quits this past spring. My wife and I discussed paying the extra cost to "upgrade" to a tankless water heater. In the end our frugal nature won and we put in another cheaper tank heater. Then in August we were hit by a Derecho (an inland hurricane). The entire city was without power for more than 10 days (some much longer) and temperatures in the upper nineties. The one saving grace was I still had a working water heater since it's gas powered.
