Hawaii is an amazing place and I think it is also considered the state safest from any natural disaster- which surprised me because of the obvious tsunami threat.
That said though I think it would have serious trouble surviving a major catastrophe - I've heard they have less then 3 days of food and fuel on the island if shipments stop coming in... that would be scary. Granted urban areas on the mainland aren't in much better a situation but at least on the mainland you'd have hope of getting to an area that can be relatively self sufficient.
