    It is suggested that a mud "volcano" in Indonesia, expected to flow for 26 years, was caused by drilling. Although not sufficient for a case study, it could be used as an example of a human-induced hazard.

  • hunter-gathering Aeta
  • Aetas living near Pinatubo worship a god named Apo Mallari who lives at the peak. According to them, he caused the 1991 eruption because of displeasure toward illegal loggers and Philippine National Oil Company executives who have drilled for geothermal heat into the mountain. Some of the Aetas stayed on the mountainside hiding in caves; only three people survived.
  • Many of the Aeta who lived on the slopes of the volcano left their villages of their own volition when the first explosions began in April, gathering in a village about 12 km from the summit. They moved to increasingly distant villages as the eruptions escalated, with some Aeta moving up to nine times in the two months preceding the cataclysmic eruption.

  • The Aeta people were the hardest hit by the eruption. The total destruction of many villages by pyroclasts and lahar deposits meant that many Aeta were unable to return to their former way of life. After the areas surrounding the volcano were declared safe to return to, those whose villages had not been destroyed moved back, but most people moved instead to government-organized resettlement areas. Conditions on these were poor, with each family receiving only small plots of land, which were not ideal for growing crops. Many Aeta found casual labor working for lowland farmers, and overall Aeta society became much more fragmented, and reliant on and integrated with lowland culture.
