Abstract
People have lived on islands in the western Pacific Ocean for more than three thousand years, developing robust sets of site-specific protocols for anticipating environmental risk (including weather, earthquake, and eruption prediction) that spawned practices for averting risk (such as structures, rituals, and propitiatory behaviours) and accommodating risk (such as optimal settlement location, food-surplus production, and food preservation).
