Everyone is aware of the fact that the damages caused by an earthquake are massive lives lost in such an earthquake. And if someone is living in Los Angeles then must aware of the disaster of Northgate earthquake. It was one of a widespread disaster that caused the loss of million dollars and lives. So, spending some extra money in order to get the safety is a wise decision.
