SAFETY PLAN TO REDUCE

THE RISK OF VOLCANIC

HAZARDS
BY GROUP 5
OBJECTIVES OF OUR STUDY
• IDENTIFY WHERE THE POSSIBLE
HAZARDS IN SCHOOL MAY OCCUR.

• TO KNOW THE SAFETY

PROTOCOLS WHEN A VOLCANC
HAZARDS HAPPENS.

• TO BE AWARE ON THE THINGS

THAT MAY HAPPEN WHEN A
VOLCANIC HAZARD OCCUR.
IMAGES OF A VOLCANIC ERUPTION
WHAT IS VOLCANIC ERUPTION?

• Volcanic eruptions occurs when magma from

deep inside the earth pushes up through the
mantle and the crust.
• Volcanic Eruption realeses lava, steam and gases
into the atmosphere.
WHAT ARE THE EXAMPLE OF VOLCANIC
HAZARDS?
 ASHFALLS
Volcanic ash is abrasive, making it
an irritant to eyes and lungs.
Ashfall can cause minor to major
damage to vehicles and buildings,
contaminate water supplies,
disrupt sewage and electrical
systems, and damage or kill
vegetation.
 LAVA FLOWS
Lava flows are streams of molten rock that pour or ooze from an
erupting vent. Lava is erupted during either nonexplosive activity or
explosive lava fountains.
POISONOUS GASES
• Carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide,
hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen
halides can also be emitted from
volcanoes. These gases are all
potentially hazardous to people,
animals, agriculture, and
property.
SOME PARTS OF SCHOOL WHERE A
VOLCANIC HAZARDS MAY OCCUR
 CLASSROOMS
ASHES COULD PENETRATE THE ROOM, CONTAMINATING THE
SURFACES.
 OPEN AREAS
• VOLCANIC EARTHQUAKE MIGHT
END UP CAUSING A SURFACE
FISSURE.
BUILDINGS
• DAMAGES TO BUILDINGS AND
BUILDINGS SUPPORT SYSTEMS
FROM VOLCANIC ASHES CAN
RANGE FROM MINOR COSMETIC
DAMAGE TO BUILDING
EXTERIORS TRHOUGH TO
CATASTROPHIC STRUCTURAL
DAMAGE IN EXTREME CASES.
 DISASTER RISK REDUCTIONS BEFORE,
DURING, AND AFTER THE PHENOMENON
 BEFORE
1. BEFORE ERECTING STRUCTURES
IN THESE AREAS, ASSESS THE
DANGER OF VOLCANIC DISASTERS.
 2. HAVE A DISASTER PLAN IN
PLACE, ESPECIALLY FOR
EVACUATION AND
COMMUNICATION IN THE EVENT
OF A DISASTER.
 3. PREPARE A DISASTER SUPPLY
KIT WITH FIRST AID AND OTHER
NECESSARY ITEMS TO BE USED IN
THE EVENT OF AN ERUPTION.
4. CHECK THE EXIT POINTS WHERE
STUDENTS CAN EASILY EVACUATE
WHEN AN ERRUPTION HAPPENS.
DURING
1. WAIT FOR THE WARNINGS AND
ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE
AUTHORITIES ABOUT THE
DISASTER.
 2. STAY AWAY FROM THE
AFFECTED AREA DURING AN
ERUPTION.
 3. COVER YOUR NOSE WITH A
PIECE OF WET CLOTH SO THAT
YOU WILL NOT INHALE POISINOUS
GASES.
4. AS SOON AS THE AUTHORITIES
INSTRUCT YOU TO LEAVE, LEAVE
IMMEDIATELY.
 AFTER
1. HELP PEOPLE REQUIRING SPECIAL ASSISTANCE LIKE STUDENTS THAT
ARE BELOW 10 YRS OLD.
 2.AVOID AREAS WHERE THERE MAY BE VOLCANIC ASH FALL.
VOLCANIC ASH CAN CAUSE RESPIRATORY ILLNESS AND WORSEN
RESPIRATORY DISEASES LIKE ASTHMA AND BRONCHITIS.
3. LISTEN FOR CIVIL DEFENSE ADVICE ON LOCAL RADIO STATIONS
AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS.
4. CHECK EVERY STUDENTS IF ANYONE IS INJURED AND MAKE SURE TO
PROVIDE THE FIRST AID THAT IS NEEDED.
 DID YOU KNOW?
Volcanic environments can be good locations for
farming. Volcanic deposits are enriched in
elements such as magnesium and potassium.
When volcanic rock and ash weathers, these
elements are released, producing extremely fertile
soils.
