You need to do what makes sense to you, but you might want to play devil's advocate first and look at the downside of living elsewhere plus the upside to living

You need to do what makes sense to you, but you might want to play devil's advocate first and look at the downside of living elsewhere plus the upside to living here.
I was a military wife for a couple of decades. I used to look up natural disasters for different places, trying to find someplace to move that had none. Turns out it's a case of pick your poison. You can't escape natural disasters, but you can decide whether you prefer hurricanes or tornados or earthquakes as your primary risk.
You could mitigate some of the risks you know of here in the US, such as homeschooling your kids to avoid school violence.
There's some truth to the idea of "better the devil you know." Other places will also have problems and you may be caught flat footed because you simply don't know what they are nor how to best mitigate them.
