Doomsday Prep for the Super-rich
Yeah, all talk about emergency bags and archery, zero talk about earthquake proofing their damn houses in California.
Sort of missing the point of emergency preparedness, methinks.

Fancy houses in California are all earthquake "proofed". It's the law.

Many older homes have not been retrofitted.

The discussion was about "eccentric SV mil/billionaires". All of those dudes have renovations on their fancy houses on a regular basis, and no renovation would be approved without the earthquake work.
