Wow, I've never given this any thought. We don't live in an area that is prone for earthquakes but there is a major fault west of us, (the New Madrid fault in western KY/MO area.) The worst we have experienced is maybe a 3 or 4 on the Richter scale.

IMO, I think the trailer would be the best place to be rather than the stick house; but then I live in a stick house. With the suspension underneath the trailer, I believe it would absorb much of the movement. I doubt there would be as much to worry about as far as things falling in the trailer either. I would think that if you move and travel a lot more most things would probably be fairly secure except whatever would be inside of the cabinets or just sitting around loose.
