I don't know. I suspect in this context (thinking about getting caught up in a disaster)the opposite of dread would be absence-of-worry.
Driving your car is riskier than flying in a big commercial airliner, right? But driving gives you the feeling of control, it's familiar, comfortable, small scale, etc. Airliners? Not so familiar, not so comfortable, and totally beyond your control.
And what's the formula for hope?
