Simi Valley is often effected by both earthquakes and wildfires. The 1994 Northridge earthquake was centered just a few miles to the east of Simi Valley and many Simi Valley residents had injuries and property damage. Simi Valley structures have been threatened many times by wildfires, including the Sesnon fire in 2008.
Just like much of California, Simi Valley residents are dependent on motor vehicles. Many Simi Valley residents commute to Los Angeles County for work each day.
