What more can be done to reduce the negative impact of a volcano?

1.   Use hazard mapping and satellite monitoring such that one is able to tell exactly when the volcano will erupt.
2.   Able to use barrier walls to penetrate the lava flow
3.   Use diversionary lava channels to disrupt the lava flow
4.   Practice evacuation drills, prepare emergency food and water supplies
5.   Use military bombings to divert lava flow
6.   Dropping large concrete blocks into the tubes feeding the lava to divert the flow
7.   Educating the community, focusing mainly on those that are most likely to be affected by volcanes
