Lahars destroy just about anything, on ground level that gets into their way. People caught in the path of a lahar have a high risk of death from severe crush injuries, drowning or asphyxiation.
They can be if they are triggered by an eruption melting snow and ice. However, some lahars occur from rainfall on old ash deposits that have had time to cool. These lahars are not hot.
Lahars are not intrusive. They are mudflows formed from extrusive material.
Mudflows and lahars can be prevented or greatly reduced by planting deep rooted vegetation in places they might occur.
Lahars cannot be prevented. They are a natural phenomenon.
