Did you know that Delaware is the safest state in the U.S. when it comes to natural disasters, with only 13 declared emergencies since 2004? Or that Texas has faced a staggering 368 major disasters over the past seven decades, making it the most disaster-prone state in the country?

In this comprehensive video, we explore the safest and deadliest U.S. states for natural disasters, diving deep into the factors that contribute to each state’s vulnerability or resilience. From the Great Lakes shielding Michigan from severe storms to Texas’s exposure to hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires, we analyze how geography, climate, and human preparedness shape the disaster landscape across America.
Discover why states like Maryland and Wisconsin enjoy relative safety, while others like Mississippi and California grapple with frequent and devastating natural events. We also discuss the economic and social impacts of these disasters, and how climate change is altering the risk profiles of various regions. Whether you’re considering moving to a new state or simply curious about the factors that make some areas more resilient than others, this video provides valuable insights into America’s diverse natural disaster risks.
Join us as we uncover the realities behind the numbers, offering a detailed look at how different states manage and mitigate the threats posed by nature’s unpredictable forces. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for preparedness and resilience in an ever-changing climate.
The Safest & Deadliest U.S. States for Natural Disasters

Have to respectfully disagree on Ohio and Indiana both are Tornado prone but in other categories except sometimes harsh winters they do okay on other natural disasters.
It seems Florida, Alabama and Georgia are getting deadlier everyday. The news and reports are worse than ever.
Hm having Texas on top is iffy but Mississippi definitely shouldn't be above Florida. How are they not way up top when they get hit with hurricane after hurricane? They should be tied for top spot with Cali in my mind, but then you have stats I don't so… just seems off.
With climate conditions warming around our planet & the shallower waters over the Gulf of Mexico there is an obvious increase in the amount of tripical storms forming in this region which are growing & evolving into powerful hurricanes. Expect these to increase as the Earth isn't finished warming & expect many more category-5 hurricanes to hit Florida, Texas, & those inbetween. Also expect the desert of West Texas to grow significantly in size & eventually consume the entire state.
Meanwhile on the Pacific Coast, expect natural disasters to hit all 3 states, Washington, which is rated as the 6th most important economic regions on our planet, & California which have 2 economic regions rated higher, & Oregon which isn't at all of economic importance but damn it sure is pretty, have the potential to wreak havoc over not just the American economy but over the entire world economy due to global dependence on the high tech these states export. Those 3 states alone are vulnerable for wide spread destruction from earthquakes, tsunami's, landslides as never seen before & volcanic events such as Mt Rainer which could bury everything from Seattle to Tacoma, or Mt Hood which could bury Portland & southern California which could see new volcanoes form. Of course none of this could happen at once but just one of these economic zones wiped off the planet would have a global impact that wouldntake generations to recover from.
As for the east coast… They are vulnerable to a massive tidal wave from the collapse of volcanic islands off the northern African coast. The Azores have collapsed before & it is estimated water reached as far as 200 miles inland on Americas east coast.
I've lived in West Virginia all my life. Aside from an occasional bad storm or river flood, nothing much ever happens here.
I heard the lead author of the government publication on abrupt climate change, Dr. Jim White, refer to Delaware as the FIFO state. (First in, first out.) So I was surprised they referred to it as the safest state in this video. Nothing along any of the coasts is safe now.
People need to stop pushing the climate change BS the Northern States are having some polar vortex issues this Winter.
These nuts
Colorado has it very good. If you're in the mountains there's forest fires and the plains have tornados, but the I-25 corridor has very little to worry about except lots of crime.
Michigan will be the economic winner from Climate change; safety from disasters.
Delware dont count its only 3 counties
aaannnnd here in New England (mostly off coast of Maine) we're getting a quake and aftershocks. Just to keep us "it can't happen HERE" folks on their toes…
Not with Tweedledum and tweedledee the Wonder Dummies in office!! Hello??!!!
California & other Fire Kaiden states SHOULD Build Rock/Brick/Concrete NOT Stick/Wood/Timber
Where does vermont rank?
So many YouTube websites are very misleading. This one doesn’t even mention the tornado alley and doesn’t mention wildfires and earthquakes that we have out west.
But what it does do is have photos to encourage fear and fearing never helps anyone to get through difficult times.
We will make it through if we do the right thing and mitigate navigate climate change and stop drilling oil in those places that cause earthquakes.
And keep our constitution intact, so our freedoms will outlast Donald Trump. I am a political independent.
We need to learn to work together and help each other out as we have done in the past and we will get through this in the next generations will bless us for doing the right thing.
So thankful I live in northeastern Arizona. No hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes or flooding. There are wildfires in Arizona, but where I live on the Little Colorado high desert plateau, we are out of the forest and safe from forest fires. In the spring it can get a little windy, but nothing I can't live with. I feel so sad when I see other folks in the US struggle with natural disasters. I realize how blessed I am.
You dónt have west coast. Are you democraaaate?
One type of disaster is left out: Winter storm disasters. Blizzards, ice storms, heavy snow including lake effect snows experienced in upstate New York.
..I wonder when "The Big One", will hit Los Angeles.?
