Volcano Disaster Preparedness

BEFORE AN ERUPTION

• Prepare an emergency kit and make a family communications plan. (Click Here)
• 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.
