11. Santiago, Chile
The citizens of Chile’s capital are less likely to be confronted directly with an earthquake as they are a tsunami. Take, for example, the earthquake that struck near the country last September, “An 8.3 quake hit Chile at that time, which generated a destructive tsunami and killed at least 13 people.” It also caused billions in damage and a million people to evacuate.
12. Vancouver, Canada
Fortunately, Vancouver has been spared the catastrophe of a major earthquake for several decades, though the area still reports tremors every once in a while. Fortunately, most of them are below a magnitude of 5.0. Of course, seismic activity in the region also essentially promises that it’s only a matter of time until a major quake strikes in the stunning West Coast city’s vicinity.
