Utah, Idaho, Nevada don’t seem to make the news much for natural disasters.

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 dont think blizzards are really natural disasters, not in the dame way hurricanes and tornadoes are
They have wildfires which can mess your shite up with a quickness.

New Mexico, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, South Dakota, North Dakota. The mountain time zone states.

Nashville has tornadoes and really bad ice storms.

Unless you count 40’ of snow a natural disaster.
*HINT* they don’t
Da UP eh! There now.

Nashville gets hammered by tornadoes regularly.

But how much of a pain in the arse are they even if they don’t necessarily cause life or property damage?
Yeah I can't say as I've only ever lived in the south and the occasional blizzard makes life super easy; just stay home and play in the snow.

Great Lakes states
To some extent, but not entirely. The lake effect regions like Scary Gary and South Bend, IN get nasty blizzards.
That being said, Indianapolis is relatively untouchable by, well, anything on any consistent basis. Little ice every now and then, but nothing to consider a disaster.

That’s if you like 110 degree summers.
The weather around Prescott AZ and Flagstaff AZ is much cooler than 110. And 115 in Phoenix is like 95 in New Orleans.

Eastern TN and Western NC have moderate rain, a little snow, are far enough from the coast, and are too Far East for major tornados.
Rain water fills the lakes below. Appalachia from 1,500 ft up seems ideal.

The west coast has beautiful weather but is plagued by earthquakes.
The past few years seems more like wildfires and mud slides affect them more than earthquakes.

Which is not to say they have zero. Photos from the F5 tornado that leveled part of Flint in 1953....

There was a study some years back. The safest place was Corvallis, OR followed by Olympia, WA.
Corvallis and Olympia have extremely low incidence of excessive heat, excessive cold, and tornadoes. Both are outside of volcanic lahar zones. No hurricanes. Earthquakes are the biggest threat but are rare and local building codes combined with the large percentage of wood structures limit structural damage.

Michigan is susceptible to excessive heat and excessive cold, which is why I don’t think they had any cities listed among the safest.

East TN (Knoxville).
Tornadoes either get broken up by the plateau to the west or the mountains to the East, basically non existent.
Too far from water for hurricanes.
Elevated high enough to avoid floods.
Blizzards occur once every 20 years.
No noticeable earthquakes.

People mentioning AZ are forgetting about their monsoon season.

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