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.
What are some reasons people risk living near volcanos?
Some people may live near volcanoes for cultural or spiritual reasons, economic opportunities such as tourism or agriculture, or simply because they have always lived in that area and are accustomed to the risks associated with living near a volcano.
How can you reduce the risk of living near volcanoes?
To reduce the risk of living near volcanoes, you can stay informed about volcano activity in your area, have an emergency plan in place, and be prepared to evacuate quickly if necessary. It's also important to follow any evacuation orders issued by local authorities and refrain from building or living in high-risk zones identified by volcanic hazard maps.
How is a pyroclastic flow managed?
Pyroclastic flows are extremely dangerous and difficult to manage. The best way to deal with them is through monitoring volcanic activity and issuing warnings to evacuate areas at risk. Building barriers and diversion channels can also help mitigate the impact of pyroclastic flows on communities living near active volcanoes.
Why people shouldn't live near volcanoes?
Well you wouldn't want to live near a volcano would you? Its quite obvious volcanoes erupt hot lava/magma which burns everything in its path, including people. People do live near volcanoes though, but they live near dormant or extinct volcanoes and have warnings before erruptions and are usually able to escape if they keep calm. Back to why you shouldn't live near them. The areas around volcanoes have a more likely chance of an earthquake. Also the areas around volcanoes that have erupted before is often "black" and bare.

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.
