        Many residents of the area around Kilauea may also think it’s worth the risk, given the beauty, community, and remoteness of Hawaii. Volcanoes also tend to give notice that something is about to happen—Kilauea’s small earthquakes, increasing amounts of lava at the summit, and a change in the slope of the volcano all indicated in recent weeks that an eruption may happen soon. This isn’t necessarily the case in other parts of the world, where earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, and floods can spring up without warning. 

        The evacuation of nearby communities because of Kilauea’s eruption isn’t the only instance in recent months of people leaving their homes to get out of the path of an erupting volcano. When Mount Mayon in the Philippines began spewing ash into the air in January, tens of thousands of people needed to evacuate. Over 100,000 people in northeast Bali were evacuated in November when Indonesia’s Mount Agung began rumbling, and thousands of tourists also fled.
