A major eruption of Italy's Mount Vesuvius could result in 8,000 fatalities, 13,000 serious injuries and total economic losses of more than $24 billion, according to a new study supported by the Willis Research Network (WRN) that puts Vesuvius at the top of the list of Europe's 10 most dangerous volcanoes. The WRN, funded by Willis Group Holdings (NYSE: WSH), the global insurance broker, is an industry-leading public-private partnership between Willis and many of the top scientific research institutions in the world. The WRN volcano risk ranking, which examines European volcanoes with potentially affected populations of greater than 10,000, was developed by researchers from the University of Cambridge, the University of Naples Federico II and Willis Re, Willis' reinsurance broking arm.

The Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland that erupted yesterday was not on the list, but the Hekla volcano, Iceland's most active, was ranked as the ninth most dangerous volcano in Europe.
There isn't a plan devised by man to evacuate every persons within that perimeter to safety. Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
The Italian papers have all been covering this report, perhaps with a feeling of being number 1 (not to mention 3 and 4 as well).
You want the formula. If I can find the formula of levelized cost of energy, you too can find the formula for mortality "attributed to catastrophic event x" somewhere in the innerboobz.
Via con dios. Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
