Drill, baby, drill and relieve all that pressure! Magma is just MAGA spelled wrong!

A Yellowstone eruption would be worse than 1000 hurricanes.
While scientists have been dismissing exaggerated claims that the end is near for decades, new research released in 2025 adds more evidence to the arsenal. Researchers from Rice University, the University of New Mexico, the University of Utah, and the University of Texas at Dallas were able to detect the top of the region’s magma reservoir, determining that it lies around two miles below the ground. This magma cap, which starts abruptly rather than gradually, forms a kind of a lid that keeps the pressure and heat locked in, according to the study published in Nature. Gas releases from this system regularly, preventing the kind of buildup that would result in a large-scale eruption. This data was discovered through new technology that released a series of tiny earthquakes into the ground, the seismic waves helping to create far-underground imaging. An earlier 2025 study also determined that the magma was spread out across different reservoirs in the region, making an eruption unlikely.
DOGE has eliminated much of the geological future research.

The only weather-related stuff I'm not in for are hurricanes and tsunamis. All the rest, including and perhaps especially vulcanism involving Yellowstone and other places erupting, and possible.

I'm in the metro DC Silver Spring suburb of the US Capitol. In this politically driven area, it is said that if you want a friend, get a dog.

Having a one year supply of food is not that hard. It is a requirement for many Mormons. Sealed barrels of beans and flour are a good start.
A type of water purification device is a good idea. Sometimes boiling is not enough.

We have been lucky not to have any extended power outages, which were common 10+ years ago. I am not a prepper so I expect to be a statistic.

He's in the US on the east coast, Mid-Atlantic. And I agree, there isn't anyplace that is safe from disasters these days. (I'm in tornado alley in the south center of the US.)

Where do you live Donuel. Country that is. Curious, and a good message as well.

I absolutely agree. I am a prepper at heart. I am preparing to move within a few months and I am going to replace most but not all of my food and water. Food I am taking to a little food pantry and water I just dumped. Always have a full tank of gas. Do not wait for orders to evacuate -- gas will be gone and streets will be full. Leave when you can. Know the back routes, which everyone else will know too but oh well. I live in tsunami land. We just had a big warning. Volcanoes are going off around the world. Earthquakes where you would least expect them. Every time you empty a water or pop bottle, rinse it and fill it with tap water. Have lots of food that does not need cooking. Keep blankets and rain gear in your car. Have a few tools in the car. Good luck and the devil take the hindmost.

A go bag has been the standard preparation but with the 70% increase in disasters, a Financial relief plan is now called for.

Scan all your important documents that you may need for relief funds,
and encrypt them. Use a password that can not be forgotten. Put in the cloud and other appropriate folders/

Even our little county has had water rescues never seen before.
To the north elementary schools were rescued from the second floor due to floods. Fires have never lasted so long and have become so massive these risks should not be overlooked. August is the Hurricane month.
The unknown/unexpected disaster can be quick.
Climate change is now so extreme that new precautions are the new normal. May you never need this 'one and done prep' and merely have peace of mind.
