The printed images in this book are from original paintings. Six of the paintings refer to specific photos taken from the U.S. Geological Survey website section titled Volcano Hazards Program. Painting one: Photograph by C.G. Newhall on Sept. 23,1984. Pyroclastic flows descend the south-eastern flank of Mayon Volcano, Philippines. More than 73,000 people were evacuated as recommended by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. There were no casualties from the l984 eruption. Painting two, five and six: Lake breakout generates lahar (2), 9/22/94; Lahars block tributary (5), 7/5/95; Lake forms behind lahar deposits (6), 8/30/94. Pyroclastic-flow deposits from the 1991 eruption filled the south fork of the Pasig-Portrero River,which flows from right to left. After the formation and breakout of several lakes from this valley, a new lake began to form in 1994 during the Philippine summer monsoon season. Uncredited photographs are from USGS website. Painting three: Philippine homes and farmland are flooded by post eruption lahars from 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption. Uncredited photograph from USGS website. Painting Four: Photograph by W.E.Scott on July 1, 1991. Pyroclastic flows erupted on Mount Pinatubo on June 15, 1991, burying the Marella River Valley with pumice, ash and volcanic rocks . PAINTING SEVEN:This panoramic view of an erupting volcano is from the painters imagination and not based on any particular photograph. * * *
