**Summary** : You are the head of the USGS. What recommendations would you make to minimize the risk to the population? (One paragraph minimum) To the people living in the area of Mt Lamington, I advise you to stay aware of the volcano you live around. Mt Lamington is in fact an active volcano and has been very active in the year of 1951. When a warning has been sent to you to be aware of the volcano or you see it looking like it will erupt, take caution and evacuate the area. Dont think twice about the volcano because we dont want another episode of 1951 where nobody took caution to the warnings and many people lost there lives. Read the other wikipages. Select three volcanoes and tell me __why__ you chose them. What are the similarities (3) and difference(s) (at least 1) between your volcano and the three you chose?
