Where on Earth are you the safest from any natural disasters?

Question

Where on Earth are you the safest from any natural disasters?

Answer 1

Every place has a chance for a natural disaster.  Look at the range of disasters:

earthquake, tsunami, volcano, flood, drought, pollution, disease epidemics, famine, fire and so forth.  Probably the safest location for a short time is a submarine.

Answer 2

A stable craton. These are the geologically dead cores of continents. Not much has happened in these places in hundreds of millions of years.

Here's a map for you:

Answer 3

Denver Colorado just got leveled by a tornado?  They have about 10 blizzards every winter so it is hardly free from disasters.

The northern states are to cold and have blizzards.  The southern states border the ocean and have hericanes.

The midwest has tornados and floods.  

Northern New mexico is high enough not to have floods.

The mountains have a little snow so they have plenty of water.

No earth quakes, tornados, hericanes or floods.

The west has drought and a dwindleing supply of water, earthquakes ready to stike at any moment.

Coast lines that could produce tidal waves.

I guess New Mexico is about the safest state in the USA.

With the least dramatic weather conditions.

Answer 4

Safety in a natural disaster is hard to find but if you know the risks and where to go you can improve your chances of surviving. At NiCT's summer camp the campers learned how to use Google Earth to help them be safe in a disaster. With Google Earth, maps with various information, such as magnitude or frequency of earthquakes, can be laid on top of the regular map to show where high risks areas are around you and help you find the safest regions. The people at NiCT also taught the kids how to mark shelters and evacuation sites so they know the closest places to go in case of earthquakes, tidal waves and flooding or other disasters. Disasters can be simulated in this program and with this new way of using Google Earth, you can improve your safety in a natural disaster.

Answer 5

There is no place free from disasters.Some or other types of disasters may take place at an unpredictable time at any place.

Answer 6

the American Great Plains may be one of the safest places, except for tornadoes.  I have spent most of my life on the Great Plains, though, and the closest I ever came to being hit by a tornado was in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Answer 7

Easy

Arizona

No Earthquakes

No Hurricanes

No major flooding like in the Midwestern USA!

ETC

Just heat with no humidity and everyone in this state and handle that. That's the trade off, high heat for the summer time and we don't get anything else.  Except in the High Country where there are blizzard conditions in the winter but everyone here doesn't mind that considering the summer weather and that people can drive to and from a winter wonderland!!

Answer 8

Answer 9

Tibet. It has no volcanic activity, it is also far above sea level sheltering it from large tsunamis and comet strikes. The thick crust is hard to move from earthquakes, and its simply too cold for a hurricane or a tornado!

Answer 10

Colorado to me is pretty safe, I live there now. This is only opinion but with mountains surrounding the whole state, it's sort of like having a shield around you. I have lived here most of my life and I have never experienced a hurricane or an earthquake, granted there are some floods. I have never been in a flood though in Colorado.

Answer 11

There is no place on earth, the safest against onslaught of mother nature. Mother nature has many types of weapons in arsenal to destroy the life on this earth, as done billions and billions of years ago repeatedly.
