The city's position on the Puyallup River is downstream of the western flank of Mount Rainier, which has the highest potential for producing far-traveled lahars due to the abundance of weakened clay-rich rock at high altitudes.

estimates that the Puyallup Valley could experience $6–12 billion in damage from a major lahar. To combat lahar danger, Pierce County maintains the Mount Rainier Volcano Lahar Warning System, implemented in 1998 by the USGS. The system includes lahar warning sirens and volcano evacuation route signs. The Puyallup city government and Puyallup School District have also taken part in annual lahar exercises to prepare the community and test warning systems. The 2014 drill included 5,000 students at all schools in the district; Puyallup High School was fully evacuated within four minutes and the first group of students reached a designated high-ground area in nineteen minutes. The March 2024 drill included 45,000 participants across the region and was the largest lahar evacuation drill that the USGS described as the "world's largest".
