    A lahar is a fast-moving mixture of volcanic material and water that flows down the slopes of a volcano. It can form during an eruption from intense rainfall eroding loose material, or from rainwater eroding material deposited on the volcano's slopes. Lahars can be dangerous because of their large volume and speed, burying entire villages as they flow and damaging fields. Effective monitoring and warning systems, evacuation planning, and educating local communities can help mitigate lahar risks.

    LAHAR

    A lahar is the process wherein a wet cement- like

    What is
    mixture of volcanic material and water flows down the
    slopes of a volcano.
    Lahar?
    Formed by intense rainfall during an
    eruption

    Possible Rainwater can erode loose volcanic


    Causes of material deposited on the upper slopes

    Lahar of the volcano or along the path of the


    river on its way down the slopes.
    I. By FLOW:
    A. Debris Flow
    B. Hyperconcentrated Streamflow
    C. Dilute Streamflow
    II. By SEDIMENT CONCENTRATION:
    Types of Lahar (varies by volume and weight)
    III. By TYPE OF DEPOSIT:
    A. Lahar Deposit
    B. Lahar- Runout Flow Deposit
    C. Streamflow Deposit
     Lahars are dangerous because of the large
    volume of materials and speed of the flow.
    They can bury entire villages.

    Effect of Lahar Flowing lahar can burn fields it passes


    through.

     Boiling lahar can cause environmental


    damage.
    TAMING LAHARS
    Conduct risk assessment in terms of history to form bases in predicting sizes and frequency of future
    occurrence.

    Evacuation would be the best preventive measure.

    Effective dissemination of lahar hazard information.

    Educating local residents, authorities, and civil defense organization.

    A good monitoring and warning system.


    Volcanic debris avalanches are landslides
    that occur in volcanic slopes. They are
    faster and their deposits are more far-
    reaching, due to the large amount of
    material involved.
    Volcanic Debris
    Avalanche Debris avalanche may involve collapse of
    the volcano’s flank or of one big sector of
    the volcano including its top.
    I. Factors include:
    1. Gravity

    Conditions and 2. Water

    Triggering 3. Strength of slope materials


    4. Regional and local structures
    Mechanisms of
    II. Triggering Conditions:
    Volcanic Debris
    1. The force of a rising magma beneath the
    Avalanche volcano or eruption of materials weakens
    the edifice.
    2. Ascending magma creates fractures
    3. Volcanic gases also weakens the slope
    How Deadly Can A Debris Avalanche Be?

    A large avalanche can


    They have caused the
    reach as far as 120 km and
    death of more than 20,000
    can cover an area as much
    people of the past 400
    as 500-1,500 km in a
    years.

    1. Though difficult to anticipate there are instances where
    predictive techniques might work such as those based
    on seismicity, volcanic activity, and deformation.

    2. There are hints that people may use to alert themselves


    such as:

    Debris Sudden appearance of springs

    Avalanche New cracks in the ground

    Soil moving away from foundation


    Danger Zones  Broken water lines

    and Mitigation Tilting of poles, trees, and fences

    Faint rumbling sounds

    Unusual sounds such as trees cracking or boulders


    knocking together which might indicate moving debris

    Volcanic activity
