1. 2 MAIN CATEGORIES OF VOLCANIC ERUPTION Click to Edit Sub Title

2. EFFUSIVE ERUPTION -An effusive eruption is a type of volcanic eruption in which lava steadily flows out of a volcano onto the ground. -This type of volcanic eruption characterized by the relatively gentle outpouring of lava onto the Earth's surface, without significant explosive activity.

3. EXPLOSIVE ERUPTION -An explosive volcanic eruption is a violent, high-energy event where magma and gas are forcefully expelled from a volcano, often producing ash, rock fragments (pyroclasts), and potentially devastating pyroclastic flows.

4. WHAT TO DO BEFORE VOLCANIC ERUPTION Before a volcanic eruption, stay informed, follow evacuation orders, and prepare an emergency kit. Protect important documents and plan escape routes. Make arrangements for pets, ensure all family members know the plan, and secure outdoor items. Seal your home to keep out ash and turn off utilities before leaving.

5. WHAT TO DO DURING VOLCANIC ERUPTION During a volcanic eruption, follow evacuation orders and stay informed. Seek shelter, wear a mask or damp cloth to avoid inhaling ash, and stay low to the ground. Avoid hot ash, lava, and mudflows. Don’t use elevators, and avoid driving due to ash hazards.

6. WHAT TO DO AFTER VOLCANIC ERUPTION After a volcanic eruption, follow official updates and don't return until it's safe. Wear protective gear when cleaning ash, wash hands often, and avoid contaminated food or water. Check and repair home and utility damage, avoid driving, report issues to authorities, and seek medical help if needed.
