I already have the natural disasters set to Light, but I feel like that amount of disasters should be the Normal setting because if you have a lot of volcanoes and/or rivers, you’re still getting a disaster every few turns in the late game on a Large or Huge map.
Can we have a slider with disaster quantity going from 1 to 5 or something? Or at least an option to just turn them off?

If you turn it off, what’s the point of choosing a civilization that isn’t affected by inundations?

There's a mod you can use to disable all disasters in your game.
But yeah, I'd wish it was a default setting you could just disable like the crises.
Or ways you could resist them in your game like in Civ 6 with reinforced buildings and Dams and such.

wouldn't turn them off at all. But if a vulcano erupts nearly every turn on Light setting something seems to be wrong.
And in my opinion there are to many (active) vulcanos on standard maps. Have the feeling that if a vulcanos is active and triggered once, it can't be inactive for the rest of the game.
And as long there is a yield setback at the end of an era, it feels not rewarding to get destroyed every turn for the whole game.

Yeah, I'd rather have a genuine Light disaster setting than completely turn off disasters. I'm really sick of the constant volcano eruptions.

Update:
I tracked my disasters through the Ancient Era on Deity with Trung Trac. I played up to turn 136.
I had floods in the exact same spot on turns 15, 17, 31, 35, and 36.
I forgot to track my disasters from turns 37-125.
Then, I had volcano eruptions in the exact same spot on turns 126, 127, and 131.
This is with the natural disaster setting on Light.
This is why the disasters feel repetitive and like too much even with the natural disaster setting on Light. I'm getting the same damn disasters, 3+ times in a row, within a few minutes of each other.
As soon as I repair the tiles from one disaster, I get the same disaster again.
Firaxis, this is too much. Please fix it. On the Light setting, disasters should happen maybe 4 or 5 times per era in your whole empire. Not this!
I think appropriate disaster frequency levels would be:
Catastrophic: About once every 5-10 turns on average.
Normal: About once every 15-20 turns on average.
Light: About once every 25-30 turns on average.
Also, the same disaster in the same location should not happen more than once or twice per era on Light, three or four times per era on Normal, or five times per era on Catastrophic. It should never happen multiple times within the same 5 turns!
