California is a combination of many earthquake fault lines. The buildings need to withstand the small quakes we get and to be built for the BIG one that is bound to come. The earthquake in San Francisco in 1906 was a 7 point quake and destroyed the city. Generally our quakes range from minor to about a 5.
