Was going to mention this in-person: since I'll be working a lot farther away, it'll be more difficult to communicate if there's a major earthquake. I think you should assume that I may be away for up to 2 days before finding a way back home if there's a major earthquake. If you don't hear from me after 2 days, then consider getting worried :-). At worst, I'll try to walk home from San Mateo, but that will definitely take at least 1 day, possibly more.
