Volcanic hazards with regard to siting nuclear-power plants in the Pacific Northwest Open-File Report By: R.P. Hoblitt, C.D. Miller, and W.E. Scott. USGS: Volcano Hazards Program - Volcano Hazard Assessments are based on the geologic record. A long-term volcano hazard assessment report is a publication that summarizes the types and likelihood of future hazardous phenomena expected to occur at a specific volcano or volcanic region.

A lahar is a volcanic mudflow or debris flow. Lahars have the consistency, viscosity and approximate density of wet concrete: fluid when moving, solid at rest. Lahars can be huge. The Osceola Lahar produced by Mount Rainier some years ago resulted in a wall of mud metres ( ft) deep in the White River canyon, which covered an area of over square kilometres ( sq mi), for a.

A long-term volcano hazard assessment report is a publication that summarizes the types and likelihood of future hazardous phenomena expected to occur at a specific volcano or volcanic region. The report typically includes a summary of the specific hazards, their impact areas, and a map showing ground-hazard zones.

The assessments are also critical for planning long-term.
