=__Summary__ = To minimize the risk of the population for Mt. Papandayan, I would strongly recommend the nearby villages and towns to be mobile incase the mostly dormant volcano decides to erupt with short notice. Since this volcano will erupt with a lot of debris, and lahars, deep trenches, dams be built around the volcano. Bandung, is the only major city in the area that could be affected by the eruption. Warning systems should also be put in place. That being said, Mt. Papandayan has been dormant for 7 years, no real risk immediately but precautions listed above should be taken.

=__Reflection__= 1) Mt. Vesuvius - I chose this volcano because of its famous eruption in 76 AD and its popularity.

2) Mt. Tambora - I chose this volcano because its highly active and its location.
