It's also a good idea to wear long pants 和 a long-sleeved shirt because ash may be hot or otherwise irritate the skin.

如果你的家在火山灰沉降区, take steps to keep as much ash as possible from entering the building. This includes closing 和/or blocking all exterior windows, doors, chimneys 和 vents. 将毛巾放在门下和其他空隙处. 作为额外的预防措施, you may want to cover interior items such as furniture, 电器及敏感电子设备. 保护外部和车库里的车辆.

Keep in mind that volcanic ash is much more destructive than ordinary dust. Even fine ash can have a jagged structure that will scratch glass, metal 和 other materials. To remove dust from exterior home surfaces, use free-flowing water from a hose. Interior ash should be removed with a vacuum cleaner.
