The central business district of a town was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in the case of Rabaul in 1994. Volcanic disasters litter not only the recent written history of both countries?particularly Papua New Guinea?but are recorded in traditional stories as well. Furthermore, evidence for disastrous volcanic eruptions many times greater than any witnessed in historical times is to be found in the geological record. Volcanic risk is greater today than at any time previously because of larger, mainly sedentary populations on or near volcanoes in both countries. An attempt is made in this book to review what is known about past volcanic eruptions and disasters with a view to determining how best volcanic risk can be reduced today in this tectonically complex and volcanically threatening region 606 $aVolcanic eruptions$zSoloman Islands 606 $aVolcanic eruptions$zPapua New Guinea 606 $aEmergency management$zSoloman Islands 606 $aEmergency management$zPapua New Guinea 610 $aemergency management 610 $apapua new guinea 610 $asolomon islands 610 $avolcanic eruptions 610 $aCaldera 610 $aEarthquake 610 $aRabaul 615 0$aVolcanic eruptions 615 0$aVolcanic eruptions 615 0$aEmergency management 615 0$aEmergency management 676 $a363.3495095 700 $aJohnson$b R.
