Objectives
Determine the various impending signs of volcano-
related hazards

Construct an emergency management cycle to

lessen the damaging effects of volcano-related
hazards

Realize the importance of emergency management

cycle in volcanic hazards
How can we tell
when a volcano
will erupt?
 Increase in the frequency of
volcanic quakes with rumbling
sounds; occurrence of volcanic
tremors.
Increased steaming activity;
change in color of steam emission
from white to gray due to
entrained ash.
Ground swells (or inflation),
ground tilt and ground fissuring
due to magma intrusion.
Localized landslides, rockfalls and
landslides from the summit area
which not attributable to heavy
rains.
Increase in the temperature of hot
springs, wells crater lake near the
volcano;
MINI TASK
GROUP ACTIVITY

management cycle plan based
on the given scenario, to lessen
the damaging effects of
volcano-related hazards.
