LINK ~ Mount Rainier - Living Safely With a Volcano in Your Backyard
By Carolyn L. Driedger and William E. Scott, USGS -- Republished from USGS fact sheet 2008-3062.
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) research shows that Mount Rainier is one
of our Nation's most dangerous volcanoes. It has been the source of
countless eruptions and volcanic mudflows (lahars) that have surged down
valleys on its flanks and buried broad areas now densely populated. To
help people live more safely with the volcano, USGS scientists are
working closely with local communities, emergency managers, and the
National Park Service.
