A volcano explosion is a violent event in which a large amount

of volcanic material, gases, and energy is released from within

the Earth. These explosions can be extremely dangerous and
have significant impacts on the surrounding environment.
Precautions before a volcanic explosion:
Stay informed about volcanic activity in your area through
reports from local authorities and volcanic monitoring stations.
Follow the instructions and recommendations of the
authorities in case of a volcanic eruption. If you are told to
evacuate, do so immediately.
Avoid areas close to the volcano, as they are the most prone
to direct impacts from the eruption and pyroclastic flows.
If you live in a volcanic area, have an emergency supply kit
ready that includes drinking water, non-perishable food,
flashlight, radio, medicine, and appropriate clothing.
Cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth or mask if ash
is in the air. Volcanic ash can be harmful to health.
If there is a volcanic eruption alert, protect your home from
ash buildup by sealing doors and windows. Use wet towels to
block spaces where ash can enter.
Do not try to get close to the volcano during an eruption or
walk on lahars or volcanic deposits.
A thunderstorm, also known as a lightning storm, is an atmospheric phenomenon in which
electrical discharges occur between the clouds and the Earth, accompanied by thunder and
lightning. Thunderstorms can be dangerous due to the presence of lightning, which can cause
injury and property damage.

Stay informed about weather conditions and alerts issued by local weather services. Pay attention
to reports of thunderstorms and take appropriate action.

If you are outdoors during a thunderstorm, immediately seek shelter in a secure building or
enclosed vehicle. Avoid open areas, hills, open fields, tall trees, and metal structures.

Avoid contact with electrically conductive objects, such as wire fences, metal fences, poles, power
lines, water, metal pipes, and large metal objects.

Inside a building, avoid using corded phones and plugged-in appliances. Stay away from windows,
metal doors, plumbing systems, and other electrically conductive objects.

If you are in a clear area with no shelter available, drop into a squatting position with your head
down and hands covering your ears to minimize the risk of being struck by lightning.
