Text Box: Before talking to your mother, you need to do your research and decide which is the safer location.  Since you have not studied volcanoes or earthquakes in detail, the first thing you need to do is get some Background information.  Once you know about earthquakes and volcanoes you will need to find out about the local history of San Francisco and Mount Rainier.  Your completed fact file will allow you to break your information down into two categories, the dangers of living in town and the precautions that will keep us safe.

In summary there are 4 sections:
Background
Local History
Dangers
Safety Precautions
