what four precautions do you take if you lie next to a volcano

1. Stay aware of the volcano's activity by monitoring reports from local authorities and volcanic monitoring agencies.

2. Have an evacuation plan in place in case of an eruption, and familiarize yourself with evacuation routes and shelters.

3. Avoid the area directly surrounding the volcano, as this is where the risk of lava flows, ash fall, and other volcanic hazards is highest.

4. Wear protective gear such as sturdy shoes, long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and goggles or a mask to protect yourself from ash, heat, and other volcanic debris.
