some challenges scientists face are: when alerting the poeple they can be wrong and the poeple will not believe them sometimes, or when alerting them sometimes when people flood the scene then SOMETIMES when they get back they will be hit by the volcano, and last but not least; scienetists dont know when to evacuate the poeple sometimes they can be wrong by a few hourse sometimes they can be wrong by days or weeks, so those are some challenges scientists face while deciding whether to evacuate people when a volcano is about to erupt. :)
