🧰 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
