Volcanic eruptions don't go by the Richter Scale.. perhaps you are thinking of the VEI (Volcanic Explosivity Index) Scale? If so, the VEI of Mt. Lamington was a level 5.
The damage cost of the eruption of Mount Lamington in 1951 was estimated to be around $3.5 million USD at that time. The eruption caused widespread devastation, including the destruction of several villages and loss of life.
The Richter scale measures earthquakes, not volcanic eruptions. Eruptions are rated on the Volcanic Explosive Index. On this scale, the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo was a VEI 6.
The Mount Lamington eruption in Papua New Guinea occurred in 1951, causing significant devastation to the surrounding area. Restoration efforts took several years, with substantial recovery work continuing into the 1960s. Immediate rebuilding focused on infrastructure and housing, while long-term ecological recovery took decades. Overall, the complete restoration of the affected areas was a prolonged process spanning many years.
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD is estimated to have been around a magnitude 5 or 6 on the Richter scale. However, since the Richter scale was developed centuries later, modern seismologists use other methods to estimate the magnitude of historical earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The last eruption of Mount Pelée in Martinique was in 1932.

The Kobe earthquake in 1995 had a magnitude of 6.9 on the Richter scale. It caused widespread devastation in the region, resulting in thousands of deaths and significant damage to buildings and infrastructure.
The last eruption of Mount Pelée in Martinique was in 1932.

Scientists used various tools to measure the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980, including seismometers to monitor earthquakes, tiltmeters to detect ground deformation, and gas analyzers to study volcanic gases. They also used radar to track changes in the shape of the volcano during the eruption.
57 people were listed as being killed as a direct result of the eruption of Mt St Helens, 18 May, 1980. This was the worst eruption of a volcano in the USA. It was measured as only 5.1 on the Richter scale. The tsunami wave in Japan in 2011 was produced by a 9.0 Richter scale reading. It left almost 16,000 people dead.
