Not all of those hazards are equally impactful. Sea-level rise can be planned around. You can prepare for heavy snowfall and drought. Even earthquake damage can be mitigated by building codes. Also, the way we build makes many catastrophes worse. We don't have to use such flammable materials, or build neighborhoods with only a single road to get out. We don't have to allow flimsy mobile homes in areas prone to tornadoes; we could even build underground if we wanted to.
