LESSON

Volcanic Eruption Preparedness

A volcano is an opening in the earth's crust through which lava,

volcanic ash, and gases escape. It is a vent in which eruptions occur. When
volcanoes erupt they can spew hot, dangerous gases, ash, lava, and rock that
can cause disastrous loss of life and property, especially in heavily populated
areas.
Volcanic eruptions are partly driven by pressure from dissolved gas. It
can also cause secondary events, such as floods, landslides, and mudslides.
Hot ashes can also start wildfires. Volcanic eruptions can impact climate
change through emitting volcanic gases like sulfur dioxide which causes
global cooling, and volcanic carbon dioxide, which has the potential to
promote global warming.
You can do many things to protect yourself and your family from the
dangers a volcanic eruption can cause. The best way to protect yourself and
your family is to follow the advice of local officials. Local authorities will give
you information on how to prepare for a volcanic eruption, and if necessary,
on how to evacuate or where to take shelter.

A. Before a Volcanic Eruption

1. Be aware of any unusual volcanic activity.

2. Listen to the radio or people with authority for safety instructions.
3. Prepare emergency supplies like flashlights, candles, matches, and first
aid kit.
4. Stock some food and water.
5. Evacuate, if necessary.
6. Prepare appropriate masks for nose and mouth to be used in case of an
ashfall or smog.

B. During a Volcanic Eruption

1. Stay indoors.
2. Cover your nose with a mask or a damp cloth when volcanic ash or dust
is present in the air.
3. Keep food and water covered.
 4. Stay away from low places. Rocks, lava, and mudflows are likely to flow
down to low-lying areas.
5. Stay in the evacuation center. Avoid going back to your house while the
volcano is erupting.

C. After a Volcanic Eruption

1. Do not go back home right away. Wait for instructions when to return
home.
2. Avoid crossing a bridge when lahar flows under it.
3. Remove ash from the rooftop.
4. Check if your drinking water is clear and if the electrical wirings at
home are intact and safe.
