RE: Why Americans aren't prepared for the next mega-disaster
There is no preparing for the next Yellowstone supervolcano eruption. The scale of such an event is impossible for most people to imagine. The last supervolcanic eruption, Toba, around 70,000 years ago, is thought to have reduced the human population on the planet to under 10,000 individuals. The next time Yellowstone goes off it will be decades before the climate settles down again.
