Lesson What to Do Before, During, and After
1 a Volcanic Eruption

Background Information for Learners

Volcanic Eruption Preparedness
A volcano is an opening in the earth's crust through which lava, volcanic ash,
and gases escape. It is a vent in which eruptions occur. When volcanoes erupt they
can spew hot, dangerous gases, ash, lava, and rock that can cause disastrous loss of
life and property, especially in heavily populated areas.
Volcanic eruptions are partly driven by pressure from dissolved gas. It can also
cause secondary events, such as floods, landslides, and mudslides. Hot ashes can
also start wildfires. Volcanic eruptions can impact climate change through emitting
volcanic gases like sulfur dioxide which causes global cooling, and volcanic carbon
dioxide, which has the potential to promote global warming.
You can do many things to protect yourself and your family from the dangers a
volcanic eruption can cause. The best way to protect yourself and your family is to
follow the advice of local officials. Local authorities will give you information on how to
prepare for a volcanic eruption, and if necessary, on how to evacuate or where to take
shelter.

A. Before a Volcanic Eruption

1. Be aware of any unusual volcanic activity.

2. Listen to the radio or people with authority for safety instructions.

kit.
4. Stock some food and water.
5. Evacuate, if necessary.
6. Prepare appropriate masks for nose and mouth to be used in case of an
ashfall or smog.

B. During a Volcanic Eruption

1. Stay indoors.
2. Cover your nose with a mask or a damp cloth when volcanic ash or dust is
present in the air.
3. Keep food and water covered.
4. Stay away from low places. Rocks, lava, and mudflows are likely to flow down

5. Stay in the evacuation center. Avoid going back to your house while the
volcano is erupting.

C. After a Volcanic Eruption

1. Do not go back home right away. Wait for instructions when to return home.
2. Avoid crossing a bridge when lahar flows under it.
3. Remove ash from the rooftop.
4. Check if your drinking water is clear and if the electrical wirings at home are
intact and safe.
