AND SAFETY
AWARENESS Presented by GROUP 5

2. A volcanic eruption occurs when magma, gases,
and volcanic materials are forcefully expelled
from a volcano due to intense pressure beneath
the Earth's crust. Volcanic eruptions can
reshape landscapes, impact climate, and pose
hazards to nearby communities, but they also
enrich soil and create new landforms.
What is Volcanic Eruption?

3. SAFETY AWARENESS:
UNDERSTANDING
VOLCANIC HAZARDS AND
PREPAREDNESS

4. 1. Know the Risks:
Identify if your area is near an active volcano.
- Learn about potential hazards.
2. Prepare an Emergency Plan:
Designate evacuation routes and meeting points.
3. Create an Emergency Kit:
- Include essentials like food, water, first aid supplies, masks, and radios.
4. Stay Informed and Reinforce Your Home.

After A Volcanic Eruption

7. Key Hazards of
Volcanic Eruptions

8. These are the key hazards of volcanic eruptions:
- Lava flows: Slow-moving but destructive.
- Ashfall: Causes respiratory issues and damages
infrastructure
- Pyroclastic flows: Extremely fast and deadly.
- Lahars: Volcanic mudflows that flood valleys.
- Toxic gases: Dangerous in low-lying areas.
