If you're caught in a volcanic eruption, the best thing you can do is evacuate the area immediately, and keep away from the downwind area of the volcano, and surrounding valleys. Keep a battery-operated radio at hand as in any natural disaster, for news and emergency information.

If you cannot leave the area because you are indoors, bring in any pets or livestock, and close all doors and windows. If you are caught outdoors during the volcano, try to get indoors. If you are by a river, try to move out of the river valley and upstream to avoid mudflows, especially if the water is rising.


Wear goggles and a dust mask to avoid inhaling harmful volcanic ash particles, and protect your skin with long pants and jackets or sleeved shirts.


Do not turn on automobile engines during ashfall, as the ash will clog the engine of your vehicle.
