warnings, knowing the location of the evacuation site, and preparing your family’s
go bag.

eruptions are expected to cause ash falls, which in turn could harm humans,
animals, plants, equipment, and structures. Beyond that, fine volcanic ash is also
often respirable which can cause respiratory diseases if inhaled over prolonged
period.
