Orting is a city of 9100 people and is found between the Carbon River and the Puyallup River. It is 50 km from Mount Rainer. Orting has been designated the most at rick city from lahar (a violent type of mudflow or debris flow composed of a slurry of pyroclastic material, rocky debris and water. The material flows down from a volcano, typically along a river valley). It is estimated that lahar could reach Orting in 30 minutes. As such, Ortine is a part of Mount Rainer Volcano Lahar Warning System. Schools in Orting stage evacuation drills in the event of a lahar event. Residents are also aware of lahar escape routes.
Mölln is a small city of about 20 000 located in northern Germany. The Elbe-Lübeck Canal flows through the town, and there are eight small lakes that surround the city. It was founded in the 12th century and was a part of the Old Salt Route. Salt that was produced in the salt mines of Lower-Saxony was shipped to the Baltic Sea. Till Eulenspiegel, a legendary trickster known for exposing vices and provoking thought, is said to have lived in Mölln the last year of his life. He apparently died of the plague in 1350, but his existence has never been proven. Mölln has several monuments dedicated to him.
