This was a very sad disaster that happened not terribly far from us:

As for the types of disasters in the "desert", yes it is all relative,
for us in the desert of Arizona it's Fire and in some cases,
Flooding, but we're not in a Floodplain, so...
Everyone keeps what is called defensible space

Thanks. I remember that fire, now that you mention it
I'm not sure what you mean by relative.
I'm familiar with defensible space. My dad has had to remove a lot of the vegetation around his home for that reason.
