Yet another feel good survey using a methodology so questionable that even the newspaper headline trumpeting it takes pains to point that out.
The Detroit News: Report has flaws but names Detroit safest city from natural disasters
Detroit has been named the safest city in the nation. When it comes to natural disasters anyway. ... “One thing that is problematic about the study is that it only includes the last 10 years,” Thompson said. “It seems to be more of a climatology of weather events over the last 10 years more than a risk assessment. We still have the possibility of tornadoes, hail, strong winds, flooding, and major snowstorms.
This is how the study also concludes that San Francisco is ranked third of the cities safest from natural disasters.
You'll note the study is also silent on man-caused disasters.
