... and Washington State has volcanoes (and Wyoming has a supervolcano) and California has earthquakes and wildfires and Texas and points north have tornadoes and baseball-sized hail and Colorado has thousand-year floods, and ironically, severe droughts, and the Eastern Seaboard has hurricanes, and Chicago has Rahm Emmanuel and Buffalo, NY gets 20 feet of snow, then there’s the New Madrid fault in MO ... everywhere you go, there’s something. Pick your location, there’s a natural disaster app for that place.

Missouri has the double whammy. In addition to the New Madrid Fault(a very active low level for now), we are living in tornado alley.

Of course, we are overdue for a big quake such as the 1812 time period, but most of my neighbors make no preps for such an event, and the contractors don’t do anything extra for the houses to survive such an event, except some of the newer commercial buildings in St. Louis.

“...everywhere you go, there’s something. Pick your location, there’s a natural disaster app for that place.”

Your operative words are “Pick your location...”, as all risks (picks) are not equal. I’ve been on islands in Hawaii and Greece and you are stuck without help until a plane (not possible on the Greek islands unless it’s a helicopter), or ship gets there. If you are on a mainland you can go somewhere else which is not true on an island as you are limited to that island.
