Marin County north of San Francisco combines extreme wildfire risk in its coastal hills and Point Reyes National Seashore with significant earthquake exposure from the San Andreas Fault, which runs directly along its western edge. Coastal communities also face tsunami risk, and evacuation routes are severely limited by the county's geography.
