I've never visited the vicinity of any recently-active volcanism... I'm a bit envious ;-). What's the magnitude of the largest earthquakes that you've felt? Those I've experienced have been typically M = 4-5.5, except for Loma Prieta in 1989.
It is hard to believe that they heat roads, but not houses... it must be a cultural architectural convention. Style or tradition over efficiency? Without central heating, how are most houses heated? Do they still use small open-flame heaters?
