Great conversation!  Here's an interesting idea (IMHO):

Setup some equipment to monitor a few of the USGS/LLNL analog tone
seismometers that dot the SF Bay Area.  A simple triangulation algorithm
would yield an approx. location and magnitude.  Feed this to APRS so
that information can still be obtained during a disaster in a mobile
setting.

Better yet:  Talk to USGS or LLNL about installing a digi in a radio
location that already has the collated information.

Nothing too difficult to accomplish... ;-)
