The "ring of fire" isn't as dead as we all hope it is, likely.
The I-5 Corridor from northern Oregon to the Canadian border is at extreme risk of transportation collapse from what is also a likely scenario... a very devastating earthquake, with long lasting aftershocks.
The Pacific Northwest is still one of the nation's most important breadbaskets. If the nation loses transportation and other infrastructure there, it's going to be one deadly serious problem. There isn't enough surplus production capacity to keep the nation fed if it goes out of production for more than a year.

Never mind the pacific northwest.
A super volcano can put the entire earth out of production for a year. "year without summer"
Don't make me laugh. A super volcano can bring the fastest ice age we've seen in 400k years.
Why are so many people so very keen for a huge disaster to occur?
Are you implying that people are hoping for these things to occur? Hardly. But there is a distant curiosity regarding how man would prevail under such circumstances. We are an advanced species, and we have the capacity to influence our fate. At the same time, with the idiots we have running the country today, it's painful to think about what the final results would be. Probably would go down something like the movie "the road". You can also bet they would be using the disaster as an excuse to collect our weapons, leaving us vulnerable... Just the way the politicians want us.

That's why I keep 40 lbs of rice in my pantry, along with over 20 lbs of dried beans. Wouldn't be a very bountiful time for myself, but at least I would be able to eat. I encourage others to do the same. We are living in tense times I'm afraid.

You may already know this, but don't eat beans raw.
Famine due to volcanic activity is nothing new to humanity.
I don't want to go hungry, how can we plug it?
