I'll start this Natural Disasters and Roman Emergency Management thread with a news release about Mount Vesuvius, near Naples, Campania, Italy.
[url:1r7sefkk]http://www.buffalo.edu/news/fast-execute.cgi/article-page.html?article=78030009[/url]
My first university degree is in earth sciences, I witnessed Mount Saint Helens' largest eruption in 1980, and my real life work is in emergency management. With the nexus of my Roman history interest, I take particular interest in Mount Vesuvius' history. I am greatly concerned about lives & safety of the millions of people who live and work within Mount Vesusius' range/reach.
More posts later on these matters. +r

Now we are getting to websites more specifically devoted to Mount Vesuvius and its eruptions. The tragedy of 79 AD. Possible future tragedies.
This is one of the best Mount Vesuvius websites:

Hi William,
I moved this to OT because it's not a civilian subject, even though it's interestin g and Roman-related.
