Geologically, now that the Pacific rim plate has released energy near Concepcion, would Concepcion be a safe place to live?

Earthquakes are always a risk in subduction zones and the rebuilding will take a while.

Until the next time…

Look at the San Andreas fault. It releases energy that way periodically, but that doesn’t make San Francisco a safe place to live, geologically speaking.

It’s probably no safer to live there now than it was last week. Tectonic plates shift around, that’s what happens. The Pacific Northwest is always one shift away from volcanic eruptions right outside of Portland, Seattle and Vancouver. But people still live here because every place is dangerous. Millions of people live in Naples, right beneath Mt. Vesuvius. Millions live in LA, but they have earthquakes pretty frequently.

Look at the midwest: lots of people live along the Mississippi, which floods every few years. You take what you get, but no human ingenuity will ever complete negate the possibility of natural danger.

The Vulcan Science Directorate has determined that it does not matter.
There is a giant supervolcano beneath the Yellowstone Park whose eruption is already overdue and the countdown is running. It is only a matter of time and you can prepare for a global desaster not seen since 64 million years ago when the dinosaurs were eradicated by the asteroid impact. It will not matter where you live, your death is almost certain.

Well, as for me, I’m just waiting for the super volcano under Yellowstone Park to explode and exterminate all life in North America. It’s due Very Soon geologically speaking…

Most likely, yes, for a while.
