Earthquake Infographic

Sharing this very nice and appropriate infographic that illustrates many of the most notable earthquake hot spots around the globe.  There is no doubt that human beings are risk-takers by nature.  We have an incredible ability to put danger and risk in the back of our minds and focus on the hear and now.  That is probably why we have come so far over such a short period of time, because failure to ignore risk would result in fear and paralysis.  Nevertheless, those living on fault lines are putting themselves in considerable risk, there is no denying that fact.   It is one thing to live near a fault line, quite another to build nuclear power plants on one as well.  One thing is for certain, don't expect a mass exodus for the San Francisco area in the near future.
