Volcano Awareness Month - On May 18, 1980 Mount St. Helens erupted and brought havoc to surrounding communities. Though this event occurred some time ago, scientist agree that Mount St. Helens and other volcanoes in the Cascade Range are capable of future eruptions. Lessons have been learned from the 1980 eruption and actions can be taken to prepare and protect your loved ones and your home.
