Well rockets can be intercepted, Throwing everything we have at an oncoming hurricane would be like standing on railroad tracks with a BB gun expecting to stop an oncoming freight train.
Ireland has a very low level of threat from natural disasters, no really dangerous animals either (bulls can be pretty frikking scary but thats about the most dangerous animal here).
Most of the threat around here is of the human kind.
Even Hertford, Hereford and Hampshire?
'Ardly hever.
Nonsense. People just say it is a hurricane when the wind gets a bit stronger than usual. We do not get anything approaching actual hurricanes.
I should have thought that not just Britain and Ireland but most of northern Europe is fairly disaster free (flood danger in the Netherlands, and a few other coastal regions aside, perhaps).
I know I’m not on Reddit when somebody doesn’t inevitably take that as bait to trot out the joke about how many potatoes it takes to kill an Irishman.
True, we rarely experience earthquakes of any great magnitude. The last one that caused major damage was on the central east coast in 1989 in Newcastle, NSW.
However, every year we experience cyclones in the northern tropical regions. Whilst the death tolls have been decreasing due to better meteorological forecasting and warning systems, the damage can run to many billions of dollars for the more severe ones.
Bushfires and floods are commonplace right around the more southern parts of the country. 2009 saw Australia at the peak of a 10-15 year drought culminating in the Black Saturday Bushfires in Victoria and South Australia. A year or so later saw much of NSW and Victoria experiencing the worst floods in decades.
It’s never boring in this wide, brown land. 
Australia has cyclones (aka hurricanes), bushfires, and droughts.
What is the Mediterranean coast like?
There was an earthquake near Canberra last year, not 2, not 3 but 3.7 Ricties.
We had a 5.4 here in Victoria last year. Knocked a DVD off the shelf. Scary stuff.
5.4 in Islamabad would be missed by most of the populace.
It’s easy to be blinded to every day threats. I was going to say the Netherlands, but realised you would all jump to the flooding danger. Actually the last serious flood we had was in 1953, it killed the same amount of people as Katrina in the US. But nothing since then, and the dams have been significantly improved obviously. Global warming? We’ll see. Building dams and pumping land dry is what we what we do.
I live close to the lowest point in the country, almost 7m below sea level. Doesn’t bother me. So I can see where the Israeli is coming from. Living near an active volcano sounds like crazy talk to me 
My vote, however, would go to Ireland. As has been mentioned: no heat, no freezing, no shaking, no flooding, no storms, no snakes. The biggest threat is the pint.
Some other places that were mentioned get pretty cold, and that often kills the homeless. Don’t know if we can count that?
Really shook up the population. Lots of commemorative art came out of it, like this piece.
I grew up in a seismically active area. One night years ago my new bride woke me up to complain about me shaking the bed. My response was something like, “oh that’s just an earthquake.” Which was apparently the wrong thing to say to someone who isn’t so blase about them. It took a couple of hours to calm her back down.
Brazil would be a decent answer. It isn’t seismically active. No hurricanes or tornadoes. There is flooding and an occasional landslide, but that is pretty predictable and avoidable. The North East has occasional droughts. All in all not bad.
My village there experienced very bad flooding just recently. A few people died, there was mud a meter deep, infrastructure was destroyed.
Luckily all the kids were fine, but having to find all new beds, furniture, clothes, cars, everything for an entire orphanage is pretty disastrous. At least the houses were still standing.
See, that’s just the thing, because in the Netherlands we expect that to happen, we prepare for it and so it doesn’t happen. Not sure if that makes it more or less dangerous…
Michigan has very little in the way of natural disaters. No hurricanes or earthquakes, summer temperatures rarely go above the low-90’s Fahrenheit, and we don’t usually get the kind of brutally-cold winters you find on the Plains. We have occasional tornadoes, but not nearly as common as places like Oklahoma or Texas.
Does “building without thinking” include building in the the potential blast or fall zone of a volcanic eruption? Or within reach of a bay-enhanced tsunami?
The Pacific Northwest is significantly affected by being adjacent to the Pacific Ring of Fire. It may not be particularly vulnerable to “mild” disasters (perhaps of the meteorological kind), but the most populous parts of it are ripe for The Big One.
Flash flood free for over three weeks!
Not as bad as the 2009 floods, though.
I second Diceman and would also add the following. Not very prone to large flood or wildfires. Most Michigan tornadoes are smaller, not the 1/2 mile wide tornado alley type. When a tornado does touch down, often there will be something like one side of a street with houses knocked down, the other side with only minor damage.
