I worked for a school district and later a community hospital in WA state. When we analyzed how we would recover from a major earthquake, our risk management folks put all our bets on FEMA and the Feds in general bailing us out financially. To the point at least at the school district, that we did not take any earthquake insurance even though it was available. Whole lot of folks better be rejiggering their risk mitigation and disaster recovery plan.
