They are approved for use in California, and are also based on Geo-Thermal Design for heating and cooling. EASY TO BUILD!

I have done some of my own investigations, and have found a source for some interesting and (relatively) inexpensive emergency shelters at http://www.calearth.org. These are based on designs by the late Nader Khalili and are said to be earthquake resistant with the other qualities you would expect from an "dirt" based abode.
