Do you think that in Texas agents mention the risks of drought? That you should be sure to water your foundation? Or in Kansas or the rest of the Midwest and South that they mention tornadoes to someone moving there from the West Coast? Or on the east coast the possibility of hurricanes? Or lightning strikes anywhere there are thunderstorms? Of course not.
I remember that when I moved to California, I was a little afraid of earthquakes, but I don't remember the agent saying, "You know, we get a lot of earthquakes out here." I do remember that my native Californian neighbor was terrified of the rare thunderstorms when they occurred.
I am sure that if you asked, the agents (in all places) would have said something like, "yes, they occur, but the possibility of it happening to you is minimal", which it is. They would probably advise you to buy sinkhole coverage.
