Well what can you do. When I lived in Missouri we had the New Madrid fault which has small quakes everyday, it's also over due for the big one according to many "experts" most if not all home insurance companies stop writing earthquake riders 20 or 30 years ago, yet we along with 1,000's of our best friends bought, built, sold, lived and died in our homes in spite of the risk. We also have sinkholes, most of which caused "settling" not catastrophic collapse non of which is covered in Missouri. I wouldn't build or buy next door to known sinkhole activity but I wasn't afraid to buy in TV and I would again.
