Subject: Redoubt Volcano has erupted at least 30 times during the past 10,000 years, most recently in 1902, 1966, 1968, and 1989-90. Ash deposits from future eruptions could seriously affect human activities downwind of the volcano, where half of Alaska's population is located. In addition, an eruption could disrupt air travel between Alaska and Asia, generate debris flows and floods that would impact an oil storage and tanker terminal, and affect commercial and recreational fishing. Completed before the eruptions of 1989-90, this report briefly outlines the geologic history of the Redoubt complex, discusses the types of volcanic hazards likely to be associated with an eruption, and explains how the accompanying hazard map can be used in emergency planning
