Want to know where you should live if you are hoping to avoid the next catastrophic earthquake , flood , megavolcano , or violent storm ? Consult our mapping of disaster red-hot zones of the world .
Most of the disasters we ’ve highlighted here are because of nature , and only occasionally helped along by humankind . Arguably some of the storms are likely to be bigger due to climate changes that humankind have had a hand in causing , and of course you would n’t get dearth without human beings .
How did we adjudicate where disaster hot zones were ? By looking at former incident of tragedy in a give region , as well as places where blame lines and giant gobs of magma wait under the Earth for the perfect time to spew . Of course these kinds of frontward - looking statements are subject to change . We may start geoengineering the planet to be megavolcano resistant , or slow climate change and thus forestall megahurricanes . human may startle building structures that can maintain geomorphologic wholeness during most earthquakes , thus minimizing belongings damage and the loss of biography .
Or we might just neglect the signs of impend disaster , convulse this map aside , and hope for the best .
