Are we talking earthquakes, Volcanos, plagues, terrorist kidnappings? If the former probably yes, I can deal with nature being nutty if the latter definitely no.

Depends on the nature of the disasters, at that price even if you only live in it for a year it might be worth it. Floods see below earthquake zone yes volcano with lava flows yes, volcano with explosive eruptions and pyroclastic flows no, tornado alley yes as my dream home would stand up to tornadoes and hurricanes and would be high up enough so anything less than a mega tsunami wouldnt be an issue. Landslides subject to a good geo survey
33% of all the residential land in England is actually on a 'Flood Plain' so at some time it will flood. But that may only happen once in 200 years.You have to balance the risk against how much you like the house.
I was very tempted by a house on the Crouch estuary, asking for trouble I know but the birdwatching was amazing. I couldn't convince my first husband it was worth the risk.
on a business trip to Miami in the 1990s, my host was a local official called Victor Bravo (yes really). 5 years previously his house was torn to bits in a hurricane. having rebuilt it, just a few months before I went there, hurricane Andrew levelled his house again. at that time he was living in a trailer and rebuilding it for the 3rd time. yes it was terrible - but far outweighed (in his mind) by the advantages of living where he did.
