• Listen to your local radio stations for civil defence advice and follow instructions.
• 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.
• Avoid driving in heavy ashfall as it stirs up ash that can clog engines and cause serious abrasion damage to
your vehicle.
• Keep animals indoors where possible, wash away ash on their paws or skin to keep them from ingesting
the ash, and provide clean drinking water.
• Use a mask or a damp cloth and eye protection when cleaning up. Moisten the ash with a sprinkler before
cleaning.
