Stay indoors and away from volcanic ashfall areas as much as possible. ... When it is safe to go outside, keep your gutters and roof clear of ash as heavy ash deposits can collapse your roof. If there is a lot of ash in the water supply, do not use your dishwasher or washing machine.
What should we do before during and after ash fall?
- Stay calm and stay indoors.
- Cover your nose and mouth with dust mask or damp clean cloth.
- Close the doors and windows of your house and car.
- Place damp towels or cloth on door opening and other open areas.
- Listen to the news for updates.
- Keep your pets inside the house.
What are the do's and don'ts before and after volcanic eruption?
Wear protection.
