First part - yes.
Second part - there are not 10's of millions in the region. MT has a population of about 800K, WY even less and S. ID very low too. Nearest major population center is SLC.
The volcano is in a relatively remote part of the rockies, and most are there for ranching and farming.
The more likely eruptions will not be on the scale of the massive one 2.1 my ago, but probably much smaller.

You're the expert? Great!
Tell me, the map posted in #2, I thought was an ash fallout map...(The map that depicts the ash moving west and south, even tough the prevailing winds move west to east)...lol..But the map expert here suggested that this map was a *blast* map....Which covers *half* the country, all the way down to southern Texas....
So, once again, I ask you:
#1. Will the experts see the problem in plenty of time to evacuate tens of millions from the entire region?
#2. The last time this volcano went off, tens of thousands of years ago, was there activity leading up to the event? If so, how much activity, and what was the duration?
#3. At what specific point to you start evacuating people?
#4. And could you post a link to the evacuation plans and to the trigger point where evacuation plans are implemented?
Thanks
