As posted by others, people still move willingly to areas prone to wildfires, earthquakes, and tornados. The risks of these can be reduced by prudent preps, but the risk can only be eliminated by living someplace else.
It is an out of the frying pan, into the fire, situation. I have talked to recent arrivals from Florida who moved here (to California) specifically to avoid hurricanes. I gather that they prefer earthquakes. After every major earthquake, U-Haul rentals peak as folks move to Kansas. Perhaps tornadoes are more fun..
Fires are almost universal. Wherever you live, there are hazards. Learn the local hazard profile and adapt.
