Precautionary Measures

Precautionary Measures
 Volcanic eruptions happen with early warnings unlike earthquakes

that are sudden.
 Before the volcano erupts there are warning signs such as rumbling
sounds, continuous emissions of steam, increasing temperature around the
volcano that results to withering of plants around and unusual behaviors
of animals and earthquakes.
 There are dangers that volcanic eruptions pose to people so it is
important that they know how to handle situations before, during and after
volcanic eruptions to avoid serious problems.

Here are precautionary measures before volcanic eruptions:
 Everyone should be aware of the dangers that volcanic eruptions pose
to lives and be prepared to face whatever circumstances the eruption may
bring.
 Prepare all necessary things to bring once evacuation is needed. Those in
danger zones are warned when to evacuate. Once given the signal refrain from
saying you will be all right. Refusing to evacuate will pose more serious
problems.
 Store as much food, water, light sources and batteries that are very
useful in case of emergency.
 Volcanic eruptions have ash falls so be prepared for masks or
anything to cover nose and mouth.
 Prioritize the safety of kids before other things. If you have relatives
or friends who are far from the volcano, take your children there until
such time that your place is safe.
Here are precautionary measures during volcanic eruptions:

 Avoid all low-lying places because lava flows and mudflows are more
likely to pass them.
 Seek cover in case of ash falls rock falls.
 Use masks and cover your mouth and nose to avoid breathing in
ashes.
 If you are inside a house; close all doors and windows to avoid ashes
from getting inside.
 Always stay indoors.
 Stay in the evacuation center until further instructions. Do not attempt
to leave the place unless told to do so.
 Keep a watchful eye on the kids because they might be tempted to go
out and see what is going on outside.
Here are precautionary measures after volcanic eruptions:

 Go back to your house but leave the kids behind with someone who
can take care of them while you check your house.
 Clean everything around your house and check all damages incurred.
 Use masks while cleaning ash and other debris.
 Wait for further announcements related to the volcano activities.
 Make sure that your house is still safe for all of you.
"Volcanic eruptions could be handled easier than
earthquakes because there are early signs before
the actual eruption so you are already prepared
at the time of eruption. Always take
precautionary measures in order to avoid serious
problems."
As we all know, a volcano is a land form that has crater or vent where the magma or molten rock, pieces of hot solid
rock, and hot gases are formed inside the Earth when the upper crust or the lower crust melts.
When that magma or molten rocks burst out through its crater, we call it lava and that happens during a Volcanic
Eruption– one of the natural disasters that people are afraid to encounter.
Thus, there are early warning signs when the volcano is about to erupt, this might be the rumbling sounds,
continuous emissions of steam, increasing temperature around the volcano that results to withering of plants around
and unusual behaviors of animals and earthquakes.
People who lives near a volcano must be aware that a volcanic eruption will bring so much danger to them. So, it is
important to know what to do before, during and after volcanic eruption.

What to do before volcanic eruptions:
1. Each one should be aware of the dangers that volcanic eruptions pose to lives and be prepared to face
whatever circumstances the eruption may bring.
2. Prepare all the necessary things to bring once evacuation is needed.
3. Store as much food, water, light sources and batteries that are very useful in case of emergency.
4. Prepare masks to cover nose and mouth for the ash falls of the volcano.
5. Safety of the kids first before anything else.
What to do during volcanic eruptions:
1. Avoid low-lying places because lava flows, and mud flows are more likely to pass here.
2. Seek cover in case of ash falls and rock falls and use masks to cover your nose and mouth and to avoid
breathing in the ashes.
3. If inside the house, close all doors and windows to avoid letting in the ashes.
4. Always stay indoors and watch for your kids, they might be tempted to go out.
5. Stay in the evacuation center and wait for further instructions and do not leave until said so.
What to do after volcanic eruptions:
1. Go back to your house but leave your kids with someone who can take care of them while you check your
house.
2. When in your house, clean everything and check if there’s damages incurred. Use masks when cleaning.
3. Wait for further announcements related to volcano activities.
4. Make sure that your house is still safe for all of you.
Specific tips for Travelers:
1. Don’t panic, you won’t be cool if you’re panic
There is no better time to stay cool other than when you are anticipating an event like a volcanic eruption. Staying
cool will help you survive because you will be able to think rationally. For those who don’t know, most parts of Bali
are still safe, just avoid East Bali area only (radius 12 km from Mount). Disaster mitigation officials and a network
of sirens are on standby near the Mountain’s foothills to immediately advise the public and provide assistance if
there is any sudden change in the alert status of the volcano. Immigration officer giving services. They have a
special counter to handle the immigration. So for those who are overstay and wants to exit other then Ngurah Rai
will be assisted. Think clearly, read the situation, and plan your next acts.
2. Pay attention to reliable media only
Do not believe everything shared on social media, particularly those coming from unreliable source. Conversely,
avoid sharing unverified information which is potentially going to make public panic, especially when you haven’t
read the information yourself. If you want to get updated, pay attention the reliable media only, such as reputable
newspaper—online or offline, television, or radio.
3. Contact your airline provider
4. Always bring a pack of mask and sunglasses with you-and wear it
Inhaled, the tiny, glassy pyroclastic materials of the volcanic eruption will affect your respiratory system. To avoid
such problem, always bring a pack of masks with you. And don’t forget to wear it because it wouldn’t help much if
only stayed in your bag. Never hesitate to share spare masks to people who still haven’t got one. Sunglasses will be
useful too as the volcanic ash may reach your eyes.
5. Do not ride recklessly, because the road might be slippery
Since the pyroclastic materials of the volcano are fine-grained, the road covered by them will be slippery. (And no
one will bother to put “the road is slippery” sign.) It’s going to be like you are riding or driving on a wet dirt road.
Besides, the rainy season has come. The volcanic ash showered by the rain will be way more slippery. Therefore, it
is advisable for you to lose your accelerator a little bit and drive slowly. Speed recommendation is 55 km/hr.
