Some places in the world that experience very few or almost no natural disasters include:
- Andorra : This small country has little to no risk of major natural hazards such as earthquakes or floods due to its location away from tectonic plate boundaries and open water
- Monaco : Located on the French Riviera, Monaco is sheltered from geological disasters and ocean-related hazards like tsunamis, thanks to its position away from tectonic boundaries and major oceans
- Singapore : This island nation in Southeast Asia has no recorded earthquakes and is protected from tsunamis by neighboring landmasses, making natural disasters extremely rare
- Belarus : A landlocked country in Eastern Europe with low to medium earthquake risk and minimal threat from tsunamis or floods due to its distance from large bodies of water
- Bahrain : Situated in the Persian Gulf and surrounded by landmasses, Bahrain is shielded from ocean-related natural disasters like tsunamis
- Saudi Arabia, Malta, and Qatar : These countries statistically have low risk from natural disasters
In the United States, states with the least natural disaster risk include:
- Michigan : Far from hurricane-prone coasts and major fault lines, Michigan experiences few natural disasters aside from manageable winter storms and occasional flooding
- Minnesota, Vermont, Ohio, and Illinois : These states have low risks for hurricanes and earthquakes, with tornadoes and floods being the main but relatively infrequent threats
These locations are generally safe due to their geographic position away from tectonic plate boundaries, major ocean coasts, and other natural disaster- prone zones
