A mates of class ago , two geographer produce one of the most shuddery mapping you ’ll ever see – it point what kinds of natural chance are most potential to kill you in America . And which neighborhood are the most pernicious .
After poring over statistics compiled between 1970 and 2004 , University of South Carolina geographers Kevin A Borden and Susan L Cutter discovered that the midwest is more likely to obliterate you , and California is the least probable . They also made a chart showing the lethal kinds of lifelike hazards .
Even though “ wicked weather ” and wintertime seem like they ’d be the venomous catastrophe , it ferment out that summer heat and drought are marginally more potential to make corpses .

indite the generator :
Chronic everyday hazards such as severe conditions ( summertime and winter ) and heat account for the majority of natural hazard fatalities . The regions most prone to deaths from natural hazards are the South and intermountain Benjamin West , but sub - regional county - stage mortality pattern show more variability . There is a distinct urban / rural component to the county patterns as well as a coastal drift . Significant clusters of high deathrate are in the lower Mississippi Valley , upper Great Plains , and Mountain West , with extra areas in west Texas , and the panhandle of Florida , substantial clusters of low fatality rate are in the Midwest and urbanised Northeast . . . It is important to watch natural hazard mortality through a geographical lens so as to better inform the public living in such hazard prone area , but more importantly to inform local emergency practitioner who must plan for and answer to disasters in their community .
Consider yourself warned .
