...The June's of Past Bring to Light the June's of Our Future...

Whether it is forest fires, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions or floods, June historically has marked the beginning of an active season with natural hazards. Through these events, USGS scientists have the opportunity to observe and study our world in action. Ultimately, the research and science becomes available so that everyone can learn about, prepare for, and prevent such future risks.
