Volcanic & Hydrothermal

There are many active volcanoes throughout the world, and thousands of people living in the shadows of these potentially dangerous volcanic areas. During a volcanic eruption, lava, ash, bombs and/or volcanic gases can be ejected into the atmosphere and onto the earth's surface. Eruptions range from the quiet overflow of magma to the tremendously violent expulsion of pyroclastics (ash & bombs), all of which can threaten life and property. If your community lives in a volcanic region you need to plan for when disaster strikes.
