Rolling blackouts<br>
Flood zones (they recently added that one)<br>
Hurricanes<br>
Seismic<br>
Terrorism<br>
They even have a map describing where these threats are located: <a href="http://www.team-companies.com/#/Companies/InteractiveMap" target="_blank">http://www.team-companies.com/#/Companies/InteractiveMap</a><br>
<br>
They do raise a bit of a point, if you are planning on staying up through a disaster, you could be doing worse.<br><font color="#888888">

The Hayward Fault (the one that runs down the east side of San Francisco Bay<br>
is waaaay over due. The population density is very high and many of the<br>
buildings (especially in the northern half) are old. The damage from a 7 or<br>
larger will be catastrophic. The 7.2 in 1989 was closer to the coast and<br>
about 40 miles south or there.<br>

If only that were the sole concern... there are lots of faults in a<br>
very dense (population & technology) area. I had the "pleasure" of<br>
riding out a 5.6 on the Calaveras fault inside a datacenter (6,4mi<br>
from the epicenter). A big one would really be a mess. Even though<br>
there was no property damage, the cellular network melted under the<br>
surge of calls and remained unusable for a good two hours afterwards.<br>
