One solution is an early warning system that warns people in danger a day or two before the possible eruption. Here’s how it works: Each house in that city will have an eruption alarm, and everyone will have an app on their phones called eruption status. There are little tiny sensors placed on the volcano. If these sensors pick up any unusual activity, they send that information to two data collecting computers at two different stations. One of the stations is the cell phone satellite station and the other is the home warning station. Once both stations receive the information from the sensors, they process it to come to a conclusion. If they conclude that there is not any  probable threat of eruption, no warning goes out. If the computers do conclude that there is a probable threat, the home warning station turns on all the home alarms and the cell phone satellite station sends an alert to all the apps. Once the app receives the warning, it displays it on the screen of your phone and either vibrates harshly or rings SUPER loud.

 

Our new Solution

Finally, I’ll tell you the other solution we came up with. A walkway that leads out of the town. This walkway will have enough supplies and shops in it to last a month if needed. Once the eruption has stopped, the doors in the walkway will open and then everyone can go back to their houses and carry on with their lives.

  Volcanoes affect people in many different ways, good and bad. There are many different types of volcanic landforms around. There are some good solutions already in place, but we need some new ones. Finally, other solutions that could be in place are a walkway to get out of the city safely and a very early warning system for houses and phones.
