We are students at a school in NJ and are required to do a report on Mt.Rainier and what the government plans to do in case of an eruption. Any info on the plans would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

Mt. Rainier Eruption plans

Google start for you now get to work reading and investigating yourselves.

What I would do is start at fema.gov and see if they have anything on that.

Take a look at what the cleanup process for the Mt. Hood explosion was, they're similar.

Good info here:

Try googling "Mt. Rainier" and "eruption", you'll get bombarded with tons of sites to look at. Good luck!

You might do a search on the town of Orting in the Puyallup (don't even attempt a pronunciation) Valley. I believe they've done a lot of prep work on evac routes, etc.

"We are students at a school in NJ and are required to do a report on Mt.Rainier and what the government plans to do in case of an eruption."

My understanding is that a team of experts will be flown in from NJ, who will throw cigarette butts on the ground in sufficient quantities to stem the lava flow...#8-)

Rent 'Dante's Peak' with Pierce Brosnan. It's very realistic I'm sure.

seriously. Study Mt. St. Helens it erupted nearly 25 years ago.

Your teacher probably expected that you would do your research yourselves instead of asking others to do it for you.

When Ex-President Carter was in the White House, he
wanted to stop the lava flow by dropping green backs
over the volcano. Then he wanted to call it the Magma Carter.

Then run

Felt the same way when I read the TVA innundation plans for the dam about ten miles up from my house. Then, when they arrested some folks for suspicious activity up there, I had to go back and review them. I don't think I can get pontoons for the house.

He supervised the writing of this post and supports "making contacts with other people". All we ask for is help :(

Actually, it's closer to poo-yal-lup.

You can do it at a trot
you can do it at a gallop
you can do it nice and slow
so your heart don't palpitate
just don't be late
Do dah Puyallup

That's part of the little ditty they use to advertise their annual fair.

What grade are they, Mike?

Personally, I think it's great that the teacher has them reaching out like this - despite the joke post that I put up there. They'll get some good sources for searching, and, with any luck, they'll get some personal opinions from folks in that particular area.
