    Before an eruption, listen to news and radio alerts, prepare emergency supplies like food, water and masks, and watch for unusual animal behavior which can predict eruptions. During an eruption, take shelter indoors and seal openings, wear a mask due to hazardous ash and chemicals, and avoid low areas downstream from the volcano where lava may flow. Stay sheltered until authorities say it is safe to go outside.

    PLANS OF ACTION FOR VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS

    Before

    Watch the news or listen to the


    radio for announcements and
    advisory to stay updated and
    alerted in your area.

    Animals can often sense


    and predict volcanic
    eruptions, so if you see
    animals acting strangely,
    be ready to evacuate.

    Prepare food, water, flashlight, and


    masks in case of emergencies.

    During
    If you have enough supplies, take temporary
    shelter from the volcanic ash where you are. Seal
    doors and windows and cover ventilation openings.

    Avoid low places and areas downwind


    of the volcano, as well as river valleys
    downstream, because lava is more
    likely to flow.
    Wear a mask because volcanic eruptions emit
    hazardous chemicals like ash and sulfur.

    Stay inside the evacuation center


    until it is safe to go outside

    Avoid driving in areas where


    there has been a lot of ashfall.
