None of them has had an earthquake and the chance of mudslides are slim. They are all suseptable to hurricanes and tornados but not often. Also floods and fires are pretty rare. I guess they are all about equal.
On average across cities as a whole, NYC is the safest by far.
There is a big big drop off....then DC or Philly (depending on crime) then Baltimore (most dangerous).
Of course, there is probably more variance within cities than across them. For example, Rittenhouse and Dupont are as safe as any area in NYC. And there are areas within Brooklyn and the Bronx that rival the worst areas within DC/Phil/Bal.
Safety is completely relative and frequently neighborhood-to-neighborhood. Even in Baltimore, neighborhoods like Mt. Vernon and Fells Point are quite safe and free of crime. Manhattan is tremendously safe, but so are vast swaths of DC.
NYC, then like the other person said, there is a huge drop off, then i would "guesstimate" DC, Philadelphia, Baltimore in that order. i know that the last three could be switched but NYC is definitely the safest out of the four.

But NYC is the closest to the ocean. With global warming it will flood first.
It just says "safest/most dangerous"... so bryson's right, natural disasters qualify. Hey, how about car accidents? Probably a drunk driver is more dangerous to the average person than a street hood.

what i said still stands.
you have a higher chance of getting shot in the head in the other cities than you do experiencing a natural disaster in nyc. period.
don't be foolish.
lol @ the thought of nyc being more dangerous to live in because of the possibility of an *extremely* rare earthquake or hurricane (or global warming which ppl are now trying to call global climate change) killing us all in comparison to the high crime that dc, philly and baltimore have.
which should we worry about more if you had to live in one of these cities today. global warming killing you by night time or getting touched walking from your building to the train station in a rough area of either of the cities on the list??
and car accidents by a drunk driver, etc. classify as crime. nyc has a lower crime rate than any of the other cities mentioned. so...again, nyc is the safest.
