Different areas of the country have different risks of dying from natural hazards. Take a look to see if you live in a high risk or low risk areas.

The map is broken down by counties.

The hazards include weather related events such as tornados, flooding, snow, cold, heat and drought. Other events such as earthquakes and wild fires do not account for very many events.

My county has quite a high hazard rating. Not surprising since we have heat, drought, cold, snow, lots of wildfires and earthquakes.
