Volcano Disaster Preparedness
Volcano Disaster Preparedness
Before an Eruption
- Prepare an emergency kit and make a family communications plan
- Follow evacuation orders issued by authorities
- Danger from mudflow increases near waterways and with heavy rain. Mudflows can move very fast, so do not cross any bridge if a mudflow is approaching
- Avoid low-lying areas, such as valleys and rivers
