Universal Coordinated Time UTC – ZULU is a 24 hour clock. During an eruption, if the wind is from the east at 10,000 feet (outflow), the tephra will fall on Vancouver, Canada in about an hour. If the Kulshan Wind is from the west (inflow) the tephra will fall on Merritt, BC in about 40 minutes. There are extremes in preparedness, of course. As a basis of my work I use the 2015 Profile of Earthquake Risk in the District of North Vancouver by Earthquake Canada, wherein they state that there is 30% chance of a M7.3 in the middle of the Salish Sea, say between North Vancouver, Nanaimo and Victoria, in the next 50 years, that will bring down 839 buildings, just among the 80,000 residents in the District of North Vancouver.

Dorr fumaroles 2375 m (7800 ft) elevation at the base of the Cockscomb, the rocky, rugged northeast ridge of Mount Baker dividing the Park and Rainbow Glaciers

On May 18, 1980, the Mount St. Helens became the largest and most destructive volcanic eruption in U.S. history. By the end of its cycle of fire and fury, 57 people had died.

  If sulphuric acid-rich water accumulates as a pool below the sulphur rich Door Funmole Field (Image above) and it persist as a layer long enough to reach Whalelech Dam, it will attack the concrete. However, even if the acid load from the water basin feeding into Whalelech does not greatly increase, occasional light fish mortalities may result near the mouth of the creeks. Greater acid and mineral loads, resulting from further increases in volcanic activity or other possible causes, could be more harmful, especially to the fish. Continued monitoring of  Whalelech watershed and collection of low and water quality is needed to detect rapidly any changes in conditions at Dorr Crater and to provide warning of possible greater impacts on Whalelech Lake from any future increases in Mount Baker activity.  Of course, if there is a lahar that hits the Whalelech system, it will cause a tsunami that will overtop the dams and spillways, smash everything apart all the way down in about two minutes.  The same as the tsunami on Spirit Lake at Mount St. Helen's.
