Notes

## **DISASTER PREPAREDNESS**

### **Before a volcanic eruption**

* Review your family preparedness plan.
* Establish a family communications plan.
* Assemble a disaster supply kit.
* Have a family evacuation plan in place.

---

### **During a volcanic eruption**

Sure — I’ll **type out the text from the image for you.**
(Some parts were blurry, so I cleaned them up slightly while keeping the meaning the same.)

## **DISASTER PREPAREDNESS**

### **Before a volcanic eruption**

* Review your family preparedness plan.
* Establish a family communications plan.
* Assemble a disaster supply kit.

---

### **During a volcanic eruption**

* Listen to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather radio or TV for updated information.
* Be prepared to adjust as advised by local emergency officials.
* Follow instructions from the Emergency Preparedness Guide.
* Avoid areas downwind and downstream from the volcano.
* Close all windows, doors, and dampers.
* Avoid driving in heavy ashfall.
* If you must drive, keep speed down and engine on for circulation.
* Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
* Use goggles and an N95 mask to protect yourself from ash.
* Keep animals indoors and protect livestock food and water.

---

### **After a volcanic eruption**

* Continue listening to NOAA weather radio for the latest information.
* Remain indoors until officials say it is safe to leave.
* Stay away from volcanic ashfall.
* Clear roofs of ash—too much ash can cause collapse.
* Avoid driving in heavy ashfall.
* Help neighbors who may require special assistance (infants, elderly, people with disabilities).
* Wash off ash from skin and clothing.

## **VOLCANIC ERUPTION**

**Disaster preparedness, risk reduction, and response and recovery plan**

### **Facts about volcanic eruption**

### **Volcanic eruption has positive and negative effects:**

#### **Positive Effects**

* Soil enrichment
* Tourism
* Thermal energy
* New land formation

#### **Negative Effects**

* Kill people
* Damage property
* Landscapes and habitats are destroyed

## **VOLCANIC ERUPTION**

**Disaster preparedness, risk reduction, and response and recovery plan**

---

### **Facts about volcanic eruption**

* A volcanic eruption is caused by the movement of molten rock (magma) beneath the Earth’s surface.
* Magma rises because it is less dense than solid rock and escapes through vents, erupting as lava and ash.
* Volcanic eruptions can release gases, ash, and molten rock.
* There are various types of volcanic eruptions depending on the pressure, gases, and magma composition.
* Volcanoes can form new land, but eruptions can also destroy forests, homes, and communities.
* Volcanoes have created many landscapes and islands.

✅ Turn it into a cleaner poster Here are some interesting facts about volcanic eruptions:

---

🌋 **1. A volcano erupts when pressure builds beneath the Earth’s crust.**
Magma rises from the mantle and, if pressure becomes too strong, it forces its way to the surface.

---

🔥 **2. There are different types of eruptions.**
Examples include:

* **Effusive eruptions** (lava flows gently)
* **Explosive eruptions** (ash, rocks, and gas are blasted into the air)

---

🌎 **3. Volcanoes can change the climate.**
Huge eruptions release ash and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, which can reflect sunlight and temporarily cool the Earth.

---

🏔 **4. Most volcanoes are found in the Ring of Fire.**
This is an area around the edges of the Pacific Ocean where tectonic plates meet.

---

🧱 **5. Volcanic eruptions create new land.**
Volcanoes formed entire islands like Hawaii and Iceland from cooled lava.

---

💨 **6. Eruptions release gases.**
These may include water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and even toxic gases.

---

🌱 **7. Volcanic soil is very fertile.**
Once cooled and weathered, volcanic rock becomes rich in minerals that help plants grow.

---

📜 **8. Some eruptions can last for years.**
While some last only minutes or hours, others (like eruptions in Iceland in 1783) lasted several months.

---

💣 **9. Pyroclastic flows are extremely dangerous.**
These fast-moving currents of hot ash and gas can travel over 100 km/h and destroy everything in their path.

---

🧊 **10. Not all volcanoes are hot.**
There are "cryovolcanoes" on icy moons like Titan and Enceladus that erupt **water, methane, or ammonia**, instead of magma.
