Safe evacuation of individuals in the danger zone
Channels were dug to divert lava away from main settlements
Medical supplies were on standby for the injured.
Measuring the surface area of fissures and craters to check for increases
Satellite imagery checking for eruptions of gasses to predict future lava eruptions
Analysis of temporal changes energy, chemical and isotopic composition of fluids released
Monitoring of gases and groundwater by measurements of soil CO2 , monthly
The SO2 from the summit has been measured by correlation spectrometry from vehicles and from a helicopter
The amount of educated individuals in Italy is higher and so there are more people who are qualified to study the behaviours of the Earth.
MT N is very dangerous with a very active lava lake. This makes collecting samples and measuring gasses potentially deadly.
