Disaster Risks

All of San Diego (and southern California in general) is at risk of damage from earthquakes. However, the worst damage during in earthquake is often due to soil liquefaction where the soil becomes water-like during shaking. For example, this can cause buildings to settle rapidly at odd angles and buried pipes to rise to the surface and burst. Marina has areas that are at very high risk of liquefaction. Be sure to check with the county to assess any risks when moving to a new home. The risk of liquefaction may also affect building codes and your ability to add on to an existing house.
