Volcanic risk management

Volcanic risk management involves identifying potential volcanic hazards, such as eruptions and ash clouds, and implementing strategies to reduce harm to people and property. This includes monitoring volcano activity, issuing early warnings, planning evacuation routes, and creating land-use policies to avoid high-risk areas. Effective management also involves educating communities about risks and responses, coordinating emergency services, and preparing resources like shelters and supplies. The goal is to minimize damage and protect lives by combining scientific assessment with proactive planning and community awareness.
