Reply	Anonymous says: I overlapped all the US hazard maps produced by the US Geological Service; tornado, flood, earthquake, etc. Then I picked the southernmost city and identified Pueblo, Colorado. Know what the leading cause of death is there? Boredom.  (no votes) Tags: unanswered, domestic science, planet earth.

Reply	Anonymous says: Better live where small dangers strike regularly. That keeps people aware. In California they know how to build in a way that one can survive an earthquake, in a so called "safe" zone nobody bothers.African tour guides carry guns to defend against rampant lions and elephants, in europe, noone would have a gun to kill an escaped animal.  (no votes) Tags: unanswered, domestic science, planet earth.

Reply	Anonymous says: In my humble opinion, somewhere around central or northeastern British Columbia. It's very geologically stable, gets enough rain but doesn't flood, never experiences tornadoes or hurricanes, is extremely politically stable, the world doesn't notice it nearly as much as eastern Canada, and it's only going to get richer as Earth's climate changes and natural resources become scarcer.  (no votes) Tags: unanswered, human body, planet earth.

Reply	M.F.Sharp says: One of the safest places on Earth at the moment and in the forseeable future is Central/Eastern England.In the Midlands for example, there are no notable natural disasters as any strong depressions pass to the south of it; any sea storms are dissapated by mountains to the west; and there are no plate boundaries anywhere in England, so there is no threat of volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. Also, the most recent tornadoes all occured north of Birmingham, making the Midlands safe. There are also numerous rivers providing water access.A final point is that with the advent of global warming, the climate will become more like that of South England (so more varied crops can be grown); and when the Thames Barrier is breached, the capitol of Britain will be moved to Birmingham, so the future is bright as well.  (no votes) Tags: unanswered, human body, planet earth.
