    Sometimes no matter how well prepared you are, it may not always help.

    No plan survives first contact with the enemy. Expect that your plan will have problems that you'll have to deal with. Be prepared to improvise if necessary.

    Although not perfect, building codes matter.

    Help can get to other countries faster than it can get to a disaster in our own. Make a plan and have a plan B, C, D, E,... Be adaptable and learn to change your plan on the fly. Make a decision and then live by it. Doubt will slow you down.
    If you always do what you've always done...
    You'll always get what you've always gotten.

    No matter where you go...
    there you are.

    Don't live in an earthquake zone, etc.

    If that's not an option, then make buildings and such to avert the danger or the majority of it at least.

    If that's not an option, prepare for the disaster as best you can which won't be very well cuz the whole world's gonna be toppling down on top of you.

    If that's not an option, bend over and kiss your arse goodbye, or pray.

    I heard New York might be due for an earthquake and it's not prepared, and the infrastructure would most likely fail miserably if a large quake hit. Don't know if it's true, or just a bunch of hype.
