Pretend you are a Public TV Journalist. Your job is to do a comprehensive essay. Your job is to let the public know about living in a hazard zone such as Mt Ranier. Read the following directions below for instructions.

Try to include realistic budgets and recommendations for who should pay (federal grants for better evacuation routes? state/local taxes for real-estate agent training? etc.). --------------------
