Geography-volcanoes 04


WHAT MORE CAN BE DONE TO REDUCE THE IMPACT OF VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS

Geographers can use hazard mapping to outline the possible impact of eruptions on local communities and the effects so that they will know what have to be done.

-People can also use barrier walls to penetrate the flowing lava and use diversionary lava channels to divert the lava away from the nearby village/town.

-Locals must also have volcanic activity warning and evacuation drills and emergency food so that when a volcano erupts, they will know what to do. Geographers are using technology to predict when a volcano is erupting by monitoring heat through satellites.

-Activities of the volcano round the area should be closely monitored at all times.

-Effective warning and evacuation procedure should also be planned by the government when volcanic eruption happens.
