It has a potential to be very much a threat, it can explode laterally and kill thousands across the Cook Inlet, and it could trigger an earthquake such as the 1964 Good Friday quake, it could create a tsunami, we lost a whole town the last time.

Its a stratovolcano, its big, over 10,000 ft. Its really quite nothing to sneer at.

It's only about 4-500 feet higher than Mount St Helens.

Also here's a map showing the damage from MSH's 1980 eruption.

Looking at this and looking at the map above showing the scale? Sure fishing traffic in the Cook inlent could take a hit but the cities should be safe if ash covered if that volcano blows. The map shows Redoubt a few miles inland from the coast as well.
