Steps

1.Check with the local police department to find out what type of community evacuation plan is in place, if you live anywhere near a volcano.
2.Learn your community's warning system, in the event of an eruption.
3.Be prepared for the impact a volcanic eruption can have - earthquakes, flash floods, landslides, mudflows and thunderstorms.
4.Plan an evacuation route, taking the highest ground to escape the effects of the eruption. Have a backup route planned as well.
5.Determine how you will contact your family if separated during an evacuation. You may want to use a family or friend who lives out of state as the contact person whom everyone will call.
6.Stock up on supplies, such as a flashlight and batteries, a battery-operated radio, first aid kit and cans of food and water.
7.Purchase goggles and a disposable breathing mask for each family member.
8.Leave the area at the first sign of a volcanic eruption. If you have time, close windows and doors to prevent debris and fumes from getting inside.
9.Put your car in the garage, where it is most likely to stay safe.
10.Remain inside your house with your windows and doors closed, if you do not have time to evacuate. Be sure to close the damper in your fireplace, to keep fumes out.
11.Use a dust mask or hold a damp cloth over your face, if the fumes do get into your house, to help with breathing
