What counts as a volcano alerts
Volcano alerts use colour codes or alert levels set by the local volcano observatory, from green (normal) to red (eruption imminent or in progress). Ash fall affects aviation, water supplies and lungs; pyroclastic flows and lahars move fast along valleys. Exclusion zones are set by civil protection and must be followed literally.
