A recent front page article in The New York Times noted that "the devastation from Gulf Coast hurricanes is serving as a strong reminder that possible disasters could lay waste to cities and states across the country." Fortunately, environmental hazards are not uniformly distributed across America; many attractive locales are relatively safe.
Warren R. Bland, professor of geography at California State University, Northridge and author of Retire in Style: 60 Outstanding Places Across the USA and Canada, prepared a short list of ten places in the United States that are unusually safe in terms of potential exposure to five major environmental hazards. After considering the degree of potential exposure to flooding due to hurricanes and tsunamis, as well as threats to life and property from earthquakes, tornadoes, radon gas, and air pollution. All ten places have a zero chance of catastrophic flooding from hurricanes and tsunamis, and in all ten the dangers from earthquakes, tornadoes and air pollution are in the zero to low threat range.
