Maybe I'm risk averse, but if a fault line caused a huge earthquake where I live, not just once, but twice, I would leave.
Actually I wouldn't, because I would have left THE FIRST TIME THE FAULT LINE SEEMED THREATENING!
History is ripe with government officials pretending "all is good" until the EARTHQUAKE kills everyone:

No need to, because I absolutely agree with you: there's no way I'd live near an active fault line, or in a place with a risk of tsunamis/earthquakes and other types of natural catastrophes that are naturally occuring and can't be protected against.
