Mountain View California is home to Google's global headquarters (Googleplex), NASA Ames Research Center, and a concentration of artificial intelligence and cloud computing infrastructure that represents critical US technological and economic assets. The city sits on the Hayward Fault and San Andreas Fault systems — among the most dangerous earthquake faults in North America. A major earthquake could simultaneously disable multiple critical tech infrastructure facilities. Foreign state actors — particularly China and Russia — have documented interest in Google's AI research and NASA Ames operations.
