To protect lives, special measures are essential in volcanic regions:
-
- Early warning systems with seismic surveillance and gas monitoring
- Evacuation plans and regular drills for residents
- Construction of safety zones and restricted areas around active volcanoes
- Information campaigns about behavior during ashfall (e.g., wear masks, seal windows)
- Protective structures like lava barriers or channeling lava flows

International cooperation, research, and education are crucial to reduce the risk of volcanic eruptions for people and nature.
