Volcanic eruption response
Volcanic eruption response involves monitoring eruptions to protect people and property. Authorities track signs like seismic activity and gas emissions to forecast eruptions. When an eruption is imminent, evacuations are organized to move residents to safe areas. Emergency services prepare for potential hazards like ashfalls, lava flows, and mudslides by clearing roads and providing supplies. Post-eruption, efforts focus on assessing damage, restoring infrastructure, and helping communities recover. This process combines scientific observation, planning, and coordination to minimize risks and protect lives during volcanic events.
