Geologists create hazard maps to convey the types of hazards that may occur during future eruptions and to identify the areas of potential impact. Specific hazards to people and property depend on eruption style, the volume of lava erupted, the location of the eruptive vent, the eruption duration, and local hydrologic conditions. As geologic research progresses, these maps are updated and created.
