Lava Flow Hazard Map

A Lava Flow Hazard Map shows the areas at risk of lava flowing during a volcanic eruption. It considers past eruption patterns, volcano type, and terrain to predict how lava might move. The map helps communities and authorities understand which regions could be affected, guiding safety planning and land use. Areas close to the volcano or on known lava pathways are usually marked as high risk, while distant or protected zones are lower risk. Overall, it’s a vital tool for assessing potential danger and preparing for volcanic activity effectively.
