Driving in high ashfall is not recommended since it stirs up ash, which can jam engines and inflict major abrasion damage to your car.
If possible, keep animals indoors, wash ash from their paws or skin to prevent them from swallowing it, and provide clean drinking water.
When cleaning up, wear a mask or a moist towel and wear eye protection. Before cleaning, wet the ash with a sprinkler.
