Sometimes, you're simply born there.
Others move to achieve some specific benefit that outweighs the occasional downside.
California has sunny weather, great jobs and pay, and earthquakes
The Plains states have wide, open spaces, wildlife galore and miserable winters
Florida has sunshine, beaches and hurricanes.
But, the benefits occur nearly every day, while the downsides generally occur seldomly. Not unlike the statistic probability of getting into a car accident every time you get into your car, but the benefits of getting to your job on time and the low probability of a mishap make it worthwhile

I agree with the other person. Every location around the world has their own natural hazards. My hometown deals with snow in winter, floods & tornadoes in spring, & on very rare occasions, very small earthquakes. You have to prepare for the inevitable inconvenience & have the insurance to cover losses if God forbid the hazard takes out your home or place of business.

the previous couple of years have seen lots of the worst recorded wildfire seasons in north u.s.. in the final couple of years important tornados have flattened cities in the U. S. and there became into that typhoon final twelve months that went with the aid of manhattan and headed inland. The 2011 wildfire season observed a depopulation of southern states the likes of which had no longer been experienced because of the fact the dirt bowl of the Nineteen Thirties. Australia has its share of organic adverse factors and has structures in place to administration them. training and reaction for such activities is basically a accountability of the States and territories. The national government factors advice for important incidents and may help with reaction and restoration. Australia makes use of an incident administration gadget modelled off the gadget used in the U. S.. dying with the aid of organic disaster isn't significant in Australia. there's a plenty larger hazard of being killed on the roads. no longer that Australian Roads are horrifically risky. comparing Australia to the U. S., you're plenty extra possibly to be killed by utilising a stray bullet in North u.s. than you're possibly to be killed in a bushfire or flood in Australia.

What place doesn't? Yellowstone National Park is simply an entire giant volcano that could wipe out all the US and more if it were to erupt. Nirvana is an illusion.

Simple human denial. "It cant/wont happen to me". THe West Coast earthquakes and the Gulf Coast, Florida and tornado alley. etc We should stop bailing out the hurricane prone areas because we are just setting them up for death possibly and wasting our tax money.
