Dear residents around the Pagan Volcano,
Due to increased volcanic
activity in your area you are receiving
this brochure to warn you about the
effects of living near volcanos. There is
no need to worry as of yet about the
volcano erupting but it is an active
volcano which could erupt. Being as
Pagan Volcano is in on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean its hazards can include
tsunami if it were to generate a large enough earthquake, gases, lava flows (a lava river), and
ash flows (an ash cloud created by the volcano that can cover miles of area with ash). The most
probable hazard to impact your community is the gases released by the volcano which can
carry on for miles and kill crops and possibly destroy drinking supplies. There is no way to
prevent this from happening. You can only prepare for this by stocking up enough food until you
can recover from the environmental effects of the
volcano erupting. The last time this volcano erupted
was in 2012 and the environmental effects were not
monumental, however be prepared for the worst case
scenario.
We recommend you stock up on canned
foods and water as well as electrical supplies such
as batteries in case of the worst possible scenario.
Thank you for your time
