3bar,
The volcano situation is a dicey one. Message 31692836

from: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com
"We show that volcanoes in Central America are more active now than any time in the scientific record, and explore possible causes."

In Ecuador a major eruption of Sangay, Reventador and/or Cotapaxi is quite possible but if far enough away, wouldn't be life-threatening.
They do use the dollar in Ecuador though.

Panama seems to be volcano safe. But high ground would be best because with the earthquake situation, you have to consider tsunamis.

My thoughts so far are -
I'm not sure where the "300 miles N or S of the Equator" statement comes from. In the video that Lee apparently got that from the discussion goes from grow zones moving 200 miles South and then right to the Equator business. In Lee's recent statements, he now says 600 miles N or S. Still without attribution.

Since I've not seen any evidence or data to support the 300 or 600 mile thing, I'm not going to get behind that at all.

The 200 mile grow zone shift is something there is evidence for in multiple sources. If you add a buffer of up to 100 miles to that, there may not be a need to go extremely South.

In my opinion, I'm not convinced that making such a drastic move to Equatorial regions is warranted unless one is very comfortable with the idea and has a very solid plan. Good contacts in the area would be a big help if that decision is made.

For me, John Casey's emphasis on the New Madrid rules out places East of the Mississippi (mostly the Northeast). Population density is the next factor. Then latitude with consideration of the grow zone shift.
And West Coast states are also ruled out. California EQs and volcanoes don't suit me. Altitude is also a consideration.
