VOLCANO DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
BEFORE AN ERUPTION
Prepare an emergency kit and make a family communications plan
Follow evacuation orders issued by authorities
Danger from mudflow increases near waterways and with heavy rain. Mudflows can move very fast, so do not cross any bridge if a mudflow is approaching
Avoid low-lying areas, such as valleys and rivers
