Escape a Volcanic Eruption

If you are in the path of flowing lava from an erupting volcano, try to get out of its path. You will not be able to outrun the lava, so do not try to race it downhill. If you are near a depression or valley that might divert the flow from you, try to get to the safe side. Do not sit on the floor or ground, as you might be overcome by volcanic fumes.
