How do you escape a eruption of Mauna Loa?

Answer 1

Mauna Loa, along with all the other volcanoes in the Hawaiian archipelago are Shield volcanoes. The lava is usually slow moving and takes days to move any noticeable distance. Shield volcanoes are different from stratovolcano. Stratovolcanoes explode and create pyroclastic flows that travel hundreds of miles and hour. Shield volcanoes are characterized by low-explosive fountaining that forms cinder cones and spatter cones at the vent.

Answer 2

If caught in an eruption of Mauna Loa, seek high ground or move perpendicular to the flow downhill. Stay indoors if possible to avoid toxic gases and wear a mask if venturing outside. Follow evacuation orders and stay tuned to local authorities for updates.
