I live in Richmond. We have earthquake insurance. For the price it is well worth it.
The funny thing about floods, etc, is when it does rain quite heavly I find Richmond NEVER had floods. I believe Richmond is far more prepared for such disasters, from simple heavy rain, you won't find big pools of water on the roads/hwy's. But goto a place like coquitlam, arg, how brutal. Specially up on roads like lougheed/schoolhouse (since we go there for work often), that place is almost always flooded in heavy rain.
