Volcano hazards assessment

Volcano hazards assessment involves identifying and evaluating the risks posed by a volcano to people, property, and the environment. This process includes studying past eruptions, mapping areas that could be affected by lava flows, ash fall, and gases, and monitoring the volcano's current activity. The goal is to understand potential dangers, inform communities, and develop emergency plans. By assessing hazards, authorities can educate residents about risks and implement strategies to minimize damage, ensuring public safety in case of an eruption.
