Some simple steps you can do help;Go take the one day RRP course nearest you so you can better understand the dangers and precautions needed. 

While I know having some knowledge can be more dangerous I like to at least understand the possibilities  I’ve know this couple for 20 years so they’re friends and want to be able to help them understand what might happen. 

I think the advice given was simply dangerous. 

I'm gonna have to refute the comments implying these cities of south seattle area are any more dangerous than any others nearby.    

Hi Michael,I think the Arizona Bay theory (Bill Hicks, Tool, etc...) says Arizona will be Ocean front property and California will slide into the sea.Ex President Obama just bought a house directly on the ocean front--he's not worried.Banks are still lending on oceanfront property and properties in all of the so-called danger zones--and they don't seem to be worried.If owning something in a particular area worries you, then buy in an area where you have no worries.Good Luck!

It could be that you have been threatened, feel unsafe, are exposed to substance abuse in the area that may be dangerous for you and your family.

How hard and dangerous is that to do??

You don't hear about it because it's dangerous to do.

is a very dangerous comment.

And the local governments worry about lead in the water, when it's the lead in the air that's the real danger.
