Tips for staying safe during the volcanic eruption (thread):
Bodily protection:
Any 3D glasses from the movies, prescription glasses, or sunglasses can help to shield your eyes from the ash and Saharan dust.
If evacuating during ashfall, do your best to wear long sleeved-shirts, long pants/skirts/tights, and closed shoes, like sneakers.

Indoors:
Move to your ground floor if ashfall is heavy in your area. The ash's weight can compromise your roof's integrity. Wind is moving from East (Windward) to West (Leeward), so close eastern windows. Place damp towels at the base of your doors to keep the air quality clean.

Face protection:
Wear masks indoors if ash fall is heavy. N95/FFP2 masks, face shields, surgical masks and cloth masks are best in protecting you from air pollution.
If you have none, place a damp cloth over your/your family's noses/mouths. The water will catch the particles.
