How is Mt. St. Helens like the Coronavirus?

REPUBLICANS ONLY CARE ABOUT THE MONEY NOT THE PEOPLE

PEOPLE WHO LISTEN TO SCIENTISTS WILL LIVE

WA Emergency Management
“40 years ago today, people pushed the state to reopen areas around Mt. St. Helens citing tourism and  the economy against advice of scientists.

 

Five days later, the volcano erupted.

#40YearsAgo at #MountStHelens: Officials meet.
Don’t listen to Republican Politicians – 40 years ago all they are about is the money. You can’t spend money if you are dead.

Scientists think it’s to close areas, but discussion turns to opening access.
Blind-sided, they point to hazard map & say red/blue zones don’t acknowledge miles of real hazards.

But plan moves forward to reconsider boundaries.
