Thanks, it does look a great part of the world to live in. I’ve taken liquefaction maps into account previously when finding places to live, but not had to look up magma chamber reports yet.

My only concern is flood plains. I had 8' of water in my basement at the first house I lived in. Technically not in a flood plain but close enough to a river. Never again.

  Yeah: common risks across a neighbourhood will usually lead to severe problems trying to claim your cover. And subsequent property resale issues: if insurance is unavailable, a mortgage is unavailable; if a home can't get a mortgage then you can only sell for cash at extreme discounts. Avoid risky areas unless you can afford to lose your home.
