>>I think the biggest disaster would be an earthquake. That would put the whole city and area out of commission. <<
My now deceased aunt and uncle lived in Northridge, and have lived through some doozy earthquakes in their day. The latest one (1994) left them without water and gas for cooking for some time (electricity came back pretty early on). They lived a spartan existence until everything could be hooked up and checked out. They were NOT going to leave their homes (looters?)
The weird thing is that they could have gotten in their car and driven to Long Beach or Orange County or San Diego and had a normal existence in a hotel or with family. 20 miles down the road can make a big difference.
