eruptions create hazardous conditions, which severely affect people and human infrastructure, near the volcano, in downstream valleys, and thousands of miles away. Evacuation of the population at risk had been the concern of local authorities as early as April 1991 when the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) declared a 6-mile-radius danger zone around the volcano. PHIVOLCS, jointly with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), had conducted intensive studies and monitoring

specific hazards which occur with volcanic eruptions such as pyroclastic flows, lava flows and the gas emissions from the volcano however there are also secondary hazards that can occur such as lahars, landslides and tsunamis. These are all natural however, the impacts can be worsened by human activity. The impact on humans depends on the amount of human activity surrounding the volcano and the human activity which occurs within the greatest risk area. Around the world, volcanic events can vary in both

Volcano, is a mountain or hill which usually looks like a cone with a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas are being erupted from the earth’s crust. Volcanoes are form when hot material from below earth rises and leaks into the crust, this hot materials are called magma, which comes either from a melt of sub ducted crusted materials, and which is light and buoyant after melting, it can also come from the deeper in the interior of the planet and it is also light and

7A volcano is a geological landform usually generated by the eruption through a vent in a planet's surface of magma, molten rock welling up from the planet's interior. Volcanoes of various types are found on other planets and their moons as well as on earth. Roughly defined, a volcano consists of a magma chamber, pipes and vents. The magma chamber is where magma from deep within the planet pools, while pipes are channels that lead to surface vents, openings in the volcano's surface through which
