from the peak of rangitoto, one of the various dormant volcanoes in auckland, i viewed through the rainy clouds that winds blew at high speeds towards the small largest city in new zealand. i didn’t really think twice about the word volcano, given the fact that i gre up surrounded by them. but these days, with the eruption of the eyjafjallajökull, some other volcanoes in costa rica becoming more active, i wonder what measures are governments taking into account for communities (primary, secondary and tertiary) in hazardous areas.
