Mount Agung Indonesia eruption
Spurious precision, surely! It looks as if the ground observer estimated "around 2000m above the summit", then added the height of the summit, making the precise-looking height of 5142m which was then converted to feet inaccurately (5142m is 16870ft). Similarly with the earlier notice quoted in post #15.

The Boys and Girls in Bandung do what they can - 200 people to watch 17000 volcanoes including around 70 active at any one time on a 24/7 watch.
Indonesia's TOTAL budget for natural disaster response is only US$ 296 mm

The top guy there - Surono is his name - is one of the best public safety volcanologists in the world; the eruption forecasts produced by him and his team have saved huge numbers of lives.
