🧰 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
