If you are in the vicinity of a volcano, please confirm in advance any information such as eruption warnings and alert levels.

In the event of a volcano erupting without any warning, be sure to wear a helmet or hat, a mask, watch out for flying rocks, and quickly take shelter in a nearby-shelter or under a solid building.

If you happen to be climbing an active volcano, be sure to check the location of the crater and the location of an evacuation hut or resting place on the mountain. Please evacuate in the direction away from the crater.

Volcanic ash is very choking and can damage your lungs, so please avoid breathing it as much as possible wearing a mask or covering your mouth and nose with a towel before moving.

Volcanic ash will reduce visibility and reduce air quality. Please reach any windbreak in order to prevent inhalation of volcanic ash.
