August 2nd, 2010Environment, Family, Health, PersonalA natural disaster can hit at anytime and can be downright devastating. These cities are at the highest risk and need to pay closer attention to what they are doing to get prepared.
- Oklahoma City: This is a city that most people forget about, but it poses some serious risks. Not only does the city have its fair share of problems in terms of its population and their obesity rate, but it happens to have a very high risk for natural disaster as well. It is therefore something that the city is focused on, particularly as they work towards being more environmentally friendly.
- Miami: Many people flock to Miami each and every year because of the climate and beautiful environment that it offers. However it also happens to be at the heart of many hurricanes and tropical storms and this puts it at great risk. Based on its location, it often has to weather some storms and that puts it at great risk overall.
- Long Beach, California: Add anything from California to the list and you almost immediately know why there are some risks involved with it. There are some tremendous risks for an earthquake in this particular city and therefore it ranks high on the list. It also has some environmental factors working against it, and therefore a concerted effort is being put on saving it.
- Seattle: Many people think of rain all the time when they think of Seattle, but there is a great risk brewing here. This city is in the line of a great earthquake threat and therefore it is ranked as one to keep an eye on.
- Portland: This city too is on the same fault where a hurricane that could hit here could be quite huge. It is a scary premise as the fault is a rather significant one and therefore many in the field keep a very close eye on things to ensure they are as prepared as possible.
- New Orleans: After suffering through Hurricane Katrina and now an oil spill, this city is in a state of ruin. They are already vulnerable and that’s why they are at such great risk of things collapsing if another natural disaster should hit. They are also in a position where a hurricane could hit based on geography and that’s a scary premise for many people.
- Houston: There are several factors at play here that put this city at risk. First and foremost is the fact that a lack of zoning ordinances mean that anything can be built virtually anywhere and that means a natural disaster could simply destroy. Add to this the fact that many areas were devastated by Hurricane Ike and it creates a very real risk here.
- Columbus, Ohio: This has been a city that has always ranked low in terms of their readiness for a natural disaster. Though they have made some great efforts, they are still on the list mostly for their lack of preparedness in this area.
- San Francisco: A large population, geographic location, and lack of attention to detail on the potential for a natural disaster are what put this city on the list. Though there have been more efforts made in recent years, the worry is that it may be too little too late.
- New York, New York: It’s no wonder that this mega city is on the list. As there is such a huge population and infrastructure to protect here, it’s an endless job. Though there are many measures in place to protect this large thriving city, it is still at risk if a natural disaster should hit.
Many cities on the list have put measures in place to protect them from a natural disaster. Those who reside there wonder and worry if the efforts will be in place in time if that disaster should ever hit.
