Here is the complete list from the Civilization (Civ1) manual.  I've
paraphrased it due to the length of the text.

Earthquake: may strike any city adjacent to Hills.  Nothing can prevent
it.  Destroys one city improvement.

Famine: strikes randomly, can be prevented by Granary.  All food in the
storage box is lost and population is reduced.

Fire: can hit any city without an Aqueduct.  Destroys one city improvment.

Flood: city must be on or next to a River.  Prevented by City Walls.
Reduces population.

Piracy: any city next to Ocean.  Prevented by Barracks.  Removes all food
from storage and all production on current project.

Plague: any city without Aqueduct; also can be prevented by learning
Medicine.  Reduces population.

Volcano: any city on or adjacent to Mountains.  Prevented by Temple.
Reduces population.

Note that Earthquake actually does say "adjacent to Hills", and not
"adjacent to or on Hills".  I don't know if the game actually follows
the manual in that respect.
