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.
