Why are continental volcanoes more likely to cause natural disaster?
There are two reasons. First, continental volcanoes are more likely than other volcanoes to be of the stratovolcano type. These volcanoes produce the largest, most explosive eruptions that pose the greatest risk to human lives and property. Second, since they are on the mainland, continental volcanoes are generally more likely to have people living near them. An eruption that occurs on an uninhabited island and does not affect anybody is not generally considered a disaster.

Why may volcanic areas offer opportunities as well as problems to people living there?
The soil surrounding a volcano, which contains some volcanic ash, is often very fertile and good for farming. Some volcanic areas have hot springs that have been used for bathing. The volcanoes of Iceland are a major source of geothermal power. In modern times, volcanoes often bring tourism to an area, which is an economic booster. People may also mine sulfur deposits or sell volcanic rocks such as pumice and scoria for various purposes. Many of our diamonds have been brought to the surface by ancient kimberlite volcanoes. However, living in a volcanic region can be dangerous. Depending on the kind of volcano and how close you are to it, dangers may include lava flows, mudflows, pyroclastic flows, toxic gasses, landslides and earthquakes. Even at a distance, ashfall from a volcano can pose a health risk. Ash clouds are also dangerous to aircraft, as the ash clogs and damages the engines.

Are people in danger of Mount Rainer and other Pacific Northwest volcanos?
Mt. Rainier is a great risk to those living in the valleys around the volcano. The volcano has a history of both explosiver eruptions as well as volcanic debris and mud flows. The volcanoes of the Pacific Northwest on a larger scale have long histories of these same types of activity. The volcanoes of the Cascade range are a risk to those living around them, however the likelihood of an event on any given day is very small. Mt. Rainier itself was put ont he decade list of potentially deadliest volcanoes in the world. The volcano is monitored by the United States Grological Survey's Cascade Volcanoes Observatory. You can see up to the moment information as well as weekly reports on the status of this volcano as well as others in the region through CVO's website.

Is volcano gases dangerous to people's health?
Short answer = NO. Depends on how close you are to the volcano. If you are referring to the recent Icelandic irruption and you are living in another country. The long answer is also no. volcanoes irrupt a mixture of gasses, but mainly CO2 which is as you know a gas which cars emit. You breath these in daily on a much larger doss than any volcano in another country could spill. The gas dissipates / diffuses with the cleaner air to be a risk to your / or other's health.
