In the first place on the list of the highest volcanic threats is the shield volcano Kilauea, located on the Big Island of Hawaii. During the last series of eruptions in 2018-2020, the lava flow destroyed several hundred houses.
The second place is occupied by Mount St. Helens, which exploded and killed 1980 people in 57 year, and the third place was taken by the sleeping stratovolcano Reinir, which represents a danger to 150 thousands of people in the event of eruption.
The remaining places in the list were as follows:
4. Redaubt Volcano, Alaska
5. Mount Shasta, California
6. Mount Hood, Oregon
7. Sree Sisters, Oregon
8. Akutan Island, Alaska

15. Glacier Peak, WA
16. Mauna Loa, Hawaii
17. Crater Lake, Oregon

Experts did not include the Yellowstone Caldera in this list, since its eruption, capable of reaching the highest category on the volcanic activity scale, remains unlikely.
