Volcanic eruptions are almost as difficult to predict as earthquakes. Any "prediction" would be little better than throwing darts at the calendar.
Calculate how many are dead, and how many are injured. Then evacuate anyone from nearby towns near the volcano
Nyiragongo is associated with a formation called the East African Rift, a region in which Africa is being pulled apart by geologic forces. As the African plate is pulled apart, the crust becomes thin. The decreases pressure on the extremely hot rocks of the upper mantle, allowing them to melt. This molten rock, called magma, then rises up through the crust to form volcanoes such as Nyiragongo.
