yes, the threat of a large quake is on the horizon in many parts of the world, and probably 80% of those places are doing nothing.
japanese were preparing. they still got over a 9 scale quake and a tsnami well.
there are 2-4 parts of the world which is in for a megaquake at any given time, yet, noone is doing anything.
there comes the value of 'open ended predictions'. they may cause people to prepare.
