Flutterby™! : Earthquake hazards

Among the projects slated for the house are making sure that my foundation anchors are up to snuff, and putting bracing on our one cripple wall. We just switched insurance companies, for customer service reasons, but The Pacific Select Property Insurance page on bracing your cripple walls and how to bolt your foundation sure makes me think highly of them as a company.

In looking at The Association of Bay Area Governments Earthquake Shaking Hazard Maps, I notice that our house is right on the border between the green "VI-Moderate" and the red "VIII-Very Strong", so I've got my fingers crossed... At least we're not on one of the few borders between "VI-Moderate" and "IX-Violent".
