In light of the recent quakes to find out the likelihood of damage where you are, here's how. Courtesy of one of my Aikido teachers who by day is a mild manered Geology professor
---------------------------------
to get the info you gotta look at the maps - it will show a section on which you can approximately locate your house. Anyway, the simplest way for me to give you instructions is to paste in the following from one of my class exercises.

I bet both the places you mention are in the 9 or 10 zone. For comparison, you can also select the1989 eq for whereever you were then and get a comparison.

Cheers,

Procedure:
1. Go to this website: http://www.abag.ca.gov/bayarea/eqmaps/mapsba.html

2. Click on #8220;View Earthquake Hazard Map #8211; byCity#8221;.

3. Scroll down the city list, and select the city where you currently live. Scroll down the fault list and select the N. Hayward Fault. This fault maybe the most likely to have a large earthquake in the near future. Find your street on the resulting map. Print the map. Black and white is fine, printin color if you wish. Put a dot where your house is,and label it (please do not give your address). What intensity of shaking on the Modified Mercalli Scale can you expect whereyou live?

4. On the Web, go to http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/general/ha.../mercalli.html, whichshows the Modified Mercalli Scale. You may also wish to consult the linkto the Modified Mercalli Scale on the "On Shaky Ground" webpage -http://www.abag.ca.gov/bayarea/eqmaps/doc/mmi.html (this is a good idea, butdon't get obsessed by all the types of building materials).
