This is Section 4: what more can be done to reduce the negative impact of a volcanic eruption.
1. Strap all lose items to walls or take off for further safety. Make tall buildings cone shape with broad base.
2.By taking seismic readings, measuring poison gasses, and using satellites, the people staying near the volcano would roughly know when a volcano would erupt and they would have time to evacuate before the volcano erupt
3. If caught near a stream, beware of mudflows. They can move faster than you can walk or run. Look upstream before crossing a bridge, and do not cross the bridge if a mudflow is approaching.
4. Avoid river valleys and low-lying areas.
5. Protect yourself from falling ash by wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Use goggles and wear eyeglasses instead of contact lenses, and wear a dust mask or hold a damp cloth over your face to help with breathing.
6. Stay away from areas downwind from the volcano. It is best to stay indoors until the ash has settled unless there is a danger of the roof collapsing. Be sure to close doors, windows, and all ventilation in the house (chimney vents, furnaces, air conditioners, fans, and other vents.
7. When the ash has settled, clear it from roofs and rain gutters.
8. Avoid driving, which can stir up volcanic ash that can clog engines, damage moving parts, and stall vehicles. If you have to drive, keep speed down to 35 mi/hr (56 km/hr) or slower.
