  • Earthquakes, in the modern-World a lot is done by using technology, and building-techniques to reduce the impact on buildings. In more primitive areas, people take to the streets once they realize there's an earthquake, if you're in a clear open space, nothing can drop on you.

    Landslides, normally people move away from areas that are prone to slide, and in the more developed Countries slides are often forced, to 'get it over with' without human-cost.

    Tsunami's, again in technologically advanced areas, there's computer systems measuring, and warning people hours before a tsunami will hit, in less advanced areas people tend to live on high-ground, they will avoid low-areas, or beaches.

  • Well you can always defend yourself against some but all? That's impossible.

    For example you reduce your chances of being struck by a Tsunami if you move a lot inland.

    If you live in a middle of a wide field you reduce your avalanche chances. If you live inside a submarine then you don't have to worry about earthquakes and so on so on.

    Finding an area that is known for having very little natural disaster problems is a start.

  • Japanese have protected themselves against Earth Quakes by building their skyscrapers on air-cushion and also making them very flexible. You should use a Search Engine to find more info for specific natural disasters and the people that are prepared for them. I'm convinced some US states have some sort of protective measures against hurricanes. Most countries have built Earth Walls to defend people from potential floods from rivers and so on and so forth.
