The eruption of Mount Pelee in 1902 devastated the town of Saint-Pierre on the island of Martinique, resulting in the deaths of approximately 30,000 people. Following the eruption, thousands were left homeless, as the town was largely destroyed. While exact figures on the number of homeless individuals vary, estimates suggest that around 10,000 people were displaced and needed shelter and assistance in the aftermath of the disaster.

There is no way to accurately predict when Mount Pelee will erupt again. It is an active volcano and could erupt at any time, although its activity is currently monitored by scientists. Its last major eruption was in 1902.
Mount Pelee is considered an active volcano because it has erupted in the recent past (1902 eruption) and continues to show signs of volcanic activity such as seismic activity and gas emissions.
The top five deadliest volcanoes in recorded history are Mount Tambora in Indonesia, which erupted in 1815 killing an estimated 71,000 people; Krakatoa in Indonesia, which erupted in 1883 causing at least 36,000 deaths; Mount Pelee in Martinique, which erupted in 1902 resulting in approximately 30,000 fatalities; Nevado del Ruiz in Colombia, which erupted in 1985 causing around 23,000 deaths; and Mount Unzen in Japan, which erupted in 1792 resulting in around 15,000 fatalities.
