It does not matter how long it has been since the last earthquake.
You and most of the others would rather have a day off island for the next one.
After the last big one
The annual chance of having one or more magnitude 5 or greater aftershock will remain above 25 percent for up to a decade or more.The annual chance of a magnitude 6 or greater aftershock will remain above 25 percent for 3 months to 3 years.Within the next year, there is a 20-30 percent chance of an aftershock as large as the mainshock or larger.Within the next year, there is a 5-10 percent chance of a magnitude 7 or greater earthquake.
