There is the Ohana you're born into. There is the Ohana you choose. I'm in Liliuokalani's chosen Ohana.
In the physical realm, you choose your Lava Zone if you're lucky. I have friends in LZ 1. Some left, some stayed. You can mitigate wildfires to some extent. You can't mitigate if you live on Leilani Avenue. BTW, I've been evacuated from Kapoho for tsunami warnings that didn't happen, but the non-warning in Lahaina was a mistake. I was a safety officer for a company doing business on Adak Island. We experienced two 7.2 earthquakes after midnight on two successive years, but my iPhone was connected to the Alaskan Volcano Center's hotline which uses bouys in addition to the seismometers. We didn't evacuate, and we were at sea level.
