🧰 What to do

Before

  • •Know your community's evacuation plan and routes
  • •Prepare goggles and N95 masks for ashfall
  • •Keep vehicles fueled and a kit ready if near an active volcano

During

  • •Evacuate if ordered; ash and gases can be deadly
  • •If staying: close windows/doors/vents, wear a mask outdoors
  • •Avoid river valleys and low areas (lahar/mudflow paths)

After

  • •Avoid ashfall driving — ash damages engines and cuts visibility
  • •Clear heavy ash from roofs carefully (wet ash is very heavy)
  • •Wear a mask during cleanup; keep ash away from children
