Safety
6/10
The tourism center is calmer than the largest cities, but robbery, theft, insecure intercity roads, and limited emergency response still require reputable transport and normal precautions.
Natural disaster resilience
4/10
Copán Ruinas is inland but remains exposed to tropical-storm rainfall, river flooding, landslides, drought, and road disruption; direct storm surge is not a concern.
