There are basically no earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, wildfire, etc. I would imagine a lot of places are like that.

If the AMOC flips the UK and Europe will have a completely different, far less hospitable landscape.
Meanwhile in the Med increasing temps are making extreme flash floods much more likely (Valencia, for example) and fires are becoming more common in drier areas, like Greece.
Living next to the Great Lakes also means that regardless of what happens with droughts, we have a supply of fresh water that is virtually limitless. I have to wonder whether the region will start to become more popular with climate refugees. Might Chicago become more of a destination, for example?
I feel like any natural disaster here has plenty of warning, which massively reduces the actual risk me and my family assuming I take the warning seriously. Unfortunately there is absolutely no warning for earthquakes and relatively little warning for wildfires (better than earthquakes, but still not as good as tornados or winter storms).
The reason being that you want to rely on your home after such a disaster, if you get hit.
Fires in the Mediterranean region are a serious thing. I got evacuated once from our family house once: flames 20 meters high near the house.
