What part of America is the least affected by natural disasters?

The west coast has beautiful weather but is plagued by earthquakes. The great planes have tornados. The northeast has blizzards. The southeast has hurricanes. Is there any area that really doesn’t deal with much in terms of natural disasters. If there isn’t, which is the easiest to deal with and least intrusive into people’s lives.
This board is likely most affected by hurricanes and my view on them is skewed. They seem to do tons more damage than the others do but again that’s likely my own bias. Thoughts?

Michigan has the least natural disasters on average per year.
Unless you count 40’ of snow a natural disaster.
*HINT* they don’t

Southwest. Arizona, New Mexico, etc. It's hot, sure, but I dont think they have the historically predictable natural disasters like other places. And I don't think blizzards are really natural disasters, not in the same way hurricanes and tornadoes are.

Kentucky?
I was just asking myself this same question watching the wild fires in California.

Ohio maybe? You get some flooding here and there but you don't hear much about tornados, earthquakes, etc.

Of major US cities, Charlotte and Nashville seem to deal with the least amount of stuff.
The DC-Philly-NYC region has some issues but less than most others.

Besides the occasional dust storm and wildfire the desert southwest doesn’t have much that will impact you. And it’s unlikely you’ll ever have a wildfire come through your house. That’s if you like 110 degree summers.

We get a decent amount of tornado action (especially in Northern Kentucky) and flooding is pretty common here with the Ohio, Big Sandy, and Mississippi.

Considering where I live is dead center of the two worst tornado outbreaks in history, I'm going to mark North Alabama off the list.

Lots of wildfires and the occasional earthquake. Not to mention floods during Monsoon season

Knoxville is surrounded by mountains. Keeps shitty weather and temperatures out.

Blizzards are rarely natural disasters, just FYI.

Those disasters aren’t restricted to those areas. Tornado alley has shifted a bit. Places like Missouri and Alabama have been dealing with tornados. Hurricanes have slammed the east coast for decades. Blizzards (and lake front snow) have been known to happen in the Midwest and Great Lakes region.

I read once that it was actually Washington DC.

Michigan rarely has any major issues... every once in a while you will have a strong snow storm come through..... but that’s about it....

Fair. But how much of a pain in the arse are they even if they don’t necessarily cause life or property damage?
