The Yahoo article goes on to say:
It should be noted that some man-contributing disasters (famine, wildfires, cholera, epidemics) are also included in the database, skewing natural-disaster-risk stats.
However, the absence of natural disasters does not mean a country is entirely safe. One need look no further than recent events in Libya, Egypt and Afghanistan to see how political and ideological strife can affect a country's stability.
So, it's hard to measure "safety," considering wealthier countries tend to sustain fewer casualties than the already destitute. Slate writer Jeremy Singer-Vine points out that disaster-risk studies focus on the most vulnerable areas, as those areas are likely to call for relief aid.
