It is not if but when. To assume a fault has just died was what was done in San Francisco before 1906 they thought the San Andreas was done. Now the better question is is it a concern in my lifetime, my kids life time or later? I believe that in the case of natural process we need to assume they will continue unless we have strong evidence and a good reason that they stoped. But the real question is are the odds enough to care?
