I'm not looking to avoid all and every catastrophe, but I do try to get
out of the way of the really obvious ones. The way to do that is pretty
easy. Don't play on the highway. Don't live in an OBVIOUS flood-prone
area(especially one that experiences hurricanes). Stay away from
earthquake faults. Others are pretty obvious to rational people.

I'm only speaking for what I know about, but the rules out living in the
eastern US.
