Best Answer

Once it became clear that the unrest leading to the eruption of Mt. St. Helens was indicating a potential large explosive eruption, the police forces were activated to evacuate people living around the volcano. In addition to the evacuation of people within a specific area around the volcano, the police forces maintained the evacuation perimeter as well as when times permitted allowing the residents under escort to retrieve belongings from their homes.
