Just sharing some volcano information, for your reading leisure/pleasure!
Informative article about California's historic volcanic activity, featuring
Lassen Peak:

Below is a map showing the locations of USGS's High and Very High Threat
volcanoes and their proximity to the population center of Klamath Falls. These
threat levels mean those volcanoes have the potential to affect life and
property due to their ability to cause eruptive hazards and their proximity to
people. Also, attached is a USGS pamphlet that explains volcanic alert levels
and aviation warnings.
Note 1: There is no volcanic activity happening in the Pacific Northwest at
this time. Scientists are pretty good at early detection and warning. The
observatory site links below have maps depicting individual volcano activity
and warning levels.
You can find more information than you may ever need at the Cascades Volcano
Observatory site: https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/observatories/cvo/ and also the ;
California Volcano Observatory site:
https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/observatories/calvo/.
Note 2: The Klamath County Emergency Management page has information about
volcanic hazards, alert levels, the below map, and links to the observatories,
for future reference.
