At-risk airports should have such information on hand as a basic preparedness measure and consider developing specific operational plans for ashfall events.
-
In general, for airport needs, ash-dispersion and trajectory models should have the capability to: indicate where ash would go in the first one to two hours after an eruption; estimate arrival time of ash at a particular location in addition to ashfall thickness; and deal with small - to moderate-sized recurring eruptions with little ashfall as well as major ash-producing events.
-
In heavier ashfall driving should only be undertaken in an emergency.
