Although all regions of Mexico face some level of natural disaster risk, some cities have relatively lower risk profiles compared to others.
Cities on the central plateau like San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, and Zacatecas have below-average seismic risk profiles. They are far enough from subduction zones to minimize extreme earthquake risk. However, these areas face drought risk and, in rare cases, severe storms.
Cities like Monterrey in the north have low to moderate seismic risk, though they face river flooding risk. Its northern location keeps it away from most Pacific subduction threats.
In general, no city in Mexico is completely free of natural disaster risks. Correct assessment requires examining multiple hazards: earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, volcanoes, etc.
Relative safety is better in central plateau cities, away from coasts and subduction zones, but preparation remains essential everywhere.
