 * Summary:**
 * To minimize risks to the general public I would recommend that in each household have a filter mask to protect their lungs, as well as goggles to protect the eyes. During periods of ash fall cover vents, air conditioning vents and chimneys. Any opening in the house that can seep in ash. Ash is extremely harmful for the lungs and it is important you protect yourself. Discontinuing use of motor vehicles because it is not safe to drive during ash fall. Ash can go through the car vents and you could inhale deadly fumes. Immediate evacuation is recommended during a volcanic explosion. The safety of your family will be protected through common sense and useful tips. Also make sure to have at least three days of food incase of a volcano.**

Read the other wikipages. Select three volcanoes and tell me __why__ you chose them. What are the similarities (3) and difference(s) (at least 1) between your volcano and the three you chose?
