The document provides safety tips from the American National Red Cross for before, during, and after a volcanic eruption. Before an eruption, it advises assembling an emergency kit, creating an evacuation plan with your family, and staying informed about community risk and response plans. During an eruption, it recommends staying alert for updates, closing all windows and doors to keep ash out if indoors, and staying in areas not exposed to hazards if outdoors. After an eruption, it suggests only returning when authorities say it is safe, continuing to monitor local news for updates, and checking the scene, calling for help if needed, and providing first aid if trained.
