We chose our property 35 years ago. It's on the top of a small sloped hill that will not be prone to land slides. We have a great salt water view, but are 300 feet up, so tsunamis are not a concern. We have taken out all the large fir trees that could threaten our house in a wind storm.
Everyone has to deal with different threats. Hurricanes, tornadoes & earthquakes are not an issue where we live. We do have to deal with landslides, floods, & tsunamis.
