How about natural disasters such as hurricanes in the east, earthquakes in the west and flooding elsewhere?

I'm not a structural engineer so I would like to know if there are some possibilities here that I may not be seeing.



Pick a building material, you can construct it with modern methods to resist natural disaster. Even wooden homes can resist hurricanes and earthquakes now. The biggest concern for wood is still fire, but we have much better ways to manage it and make the wood fire-resistant.
