3. Saudi Arabia
Risk index: 1.14%
Saudi Arabia is the third Middle Eastern country on our list of best places to live to avoid natural disasters, though definitely not the last. This nation is often criticized for its almost exclusive dependence on oil, but the royal family refuses to take anyone’s advice. For now, however, it enjoys the status of a highly developed, comfortably running country that appears to have a minimal threat from natural disasters.
