Local residents:

People were evacuated from the blast near to the volcano in the build up to the eruption totalling two months

Their homes were destroyed

57 people were killed although most were tourists

Money earned by tourism decreased as although more people came, they spent less

Local Environment:

Spirit Lake was completely filled in

The whole local environment was destroyed and took years before things grew again in the local vicinity this would therefore affect logging companies

Living animals caught in the blast were killed and the habitat was unlivable for a long time

The volcano itself has changed shape

Poisonous gas and ash was released from the volcano

Global environment:

Ash poured down on 15 states and within days, gas from the volcano, encircled the world

It created a tourist attraction

It helped advance the scientist's knowledge on volcanoes and monitoring eruptions
