26
before
- identify volcanic risks - buy insurance - create emergency and shelter plan - assemble and maintain emergency survival bag/items
27
during
- wear masks - seek for shelter - stay out of restricted zones - put emergency plan into action - listen to local stations to stay updated - weak masks and goggles - close doors, windows and block any open corners
28
after
- listen to news updates - keep your roof and gutters clear of ashes for heavy deposits can cause roof to collapse - use mask, damp cloth, eye protection when cleaning up. moisten ash before cleaning - look for and report broken utility lines to appropriate authorities
