- Study eruption history of volcano
- Measure gas emissions, land swelling and ground water levels
- measure shock waves generated by magma travelling upwards
- Protection
- best protection is evacuating the area prior to the eruption however this will still destroy homes and livelihoods left behin
- hazard assessment trying to determine the areas of the greatest risk which should influence land use planning
- Dig trenches to divert the lava
- Build barriers to slow down lava flows
- water on the lava to slow it down by cooling
