“You can dodge the effects to some degree, but not really.” Yes really (statistically really) you can. You personally. Not the county or the region, but you personally can. The likelihood of being affected by fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and bad Mexican food can be reduced or eliminated by where you live and how you live in the US. Don’t live on a fault line. Don’t live on the Gulf Coast. Don’t live in a fire-prone forested area. Or build your house to be robust to the regional risks...ask the locals. You absolutely have meaningful agency in this. Whether or not it’s all just weather and the tzu-jan of Nature.
