The world map of volcanoes in your atlas shows that the most volcanic activity occurs along the West coasts of North and South America, (along the Rockies and Andes) and the coasts

mountains that lie to its west, as shown in Figure 1. This would mean that the town is partially protected from the high speed westerly winds that can accompany a winter storm.
