"What natural disasters does Idaho have? Idaho’s most common natural
disasters include wildfires, floods, winter storms, severe storms,
droughts, earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and power outages.
Tornadoes occur occasionally too, but they’re a much less threatening
disaster."

Top of my mind was wildfires and flooding.  I wasn't aware of volcanos
or earthquakes there.

Chuckle, sounds like Alaska but Alaska is a bit spicier with added
earthquakes and volcanos.  Also wildfires can drift back and forth from
Canada<->Alaska.
