Sept 25 th. - 6:00 am Breaking News - The amount of evacuees from the immediate vicinity of mount agung has increased to over 35,000 Balinese.
Although there has still not been any confirmed release of Lava from Mount Agung locals are concerned .
Remember The Less Fortunate:
Remember that although you may live 40- 60 km away from the volcano and may have nothing to fear in your air-conditioned hotel room, home or villa there are tens of thousands of locals that have been forced out of their homes and may lose their homes in the coming weeks or months.

Many of them are sitting in shelters with little hygiene and a government that is overwhelmed trying to fulfill their basic living needs.
I highly recommend that you do what our company has done.
Yesterday our Company made a cash contribution and asked staff to donate whatever they could to purchase basic necessities which will be delivered by several of our staff in person.
One of our staff who is a Balinese Priest, with family that lives in the area will make sure that everything is delivered to the right people with no middleman.

Family Emergency Plan.
Make a plan today. Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to know which types of disasters could affect your area. Know how you’ll contact one another and reconnect if separated. Establish a family meeting place that’s familiar and easy to find.
Step 1: Put together a plan by discussing these 4 questions with your family, friends, or household to start your emergency plan.
1. How will I receive emergency alerts and warnings?
2. What is my shelter plan?
3. What is my evacuation route?
4. What is my family/household communication plan?
Step 2: Consider specific needs in your household.
As you prepare your plan tailor your plans and supplies to your specific daily living needs and responsibilities. Discuss your needs and responsibilities and how people in the network can assist each other with communication, care of children, business, pets, or specific needs like the operation of durable medical equipment. Create your own personal network for specific areas where you need assistance. Keep in mind some these factors when developing your plan:
· Different ages of members within your household
· Responsibilities for assisting others
· Locations frequented
· Dietary needs
· Medical needs including prescriptions and equipment
· Disabilities or access and functional needs including devices and equipment
· Languages spoken
· Cultural and religious considerations
· Pets or service animals
· Households with school-aged children

During a Volcanic Eruption
Follow the evacuation order issued by authorities and evacuate immediately from the volcano area to avoid flying debris, hot gases, lateral blast and lava flow.
Be aware of mudflows. The danger from a mudflow increases near stream channels and with prolonged heavy rains. Mudflows can move faster than you can walk or run. Look upstream before crossing a bridge and do not cross the bridge if a mudflow is approaching.
Avoid river valleys and low-lying areas.
Remember to help your neighbours who may require special assistance - infants, elderly people and people with access and functional needs
Protection From Falling Ash
If you are unable to evacuate, and in order to protect yourself from falling ash, you should remain indoors with doors, windows and ventilation closed until the ash settles.
If you have a respiratory ailment, avoid contact with any amount of ash. Stay indoors until local health officials advise it is safe to go outside.
Listen to a battery-powered radio or television for the latest emergency information.
Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
Use goggles and wear eyeglasses instead of contact lenses.
Use a dust mask or hold a damp cloth over your face to help with breathing.
Stay away from areas downwind from the volcano to avoid volcanic ash.
Stay indoors until the ash has settled unless there is a danger of the roof collapsing.
Close doors, windows, and all ventilation in the house (chimney vents, furnaces, air conditioners, fans and other vents.
Clear heavy ash from flat or low-pitched roofs and rain gutters.
Avoid running car or truck engines. Driving can stir up volcanic ash that can clog engines, damage moving parts, and stall vehicles.
Avoid driving in heavy ash fall unless absolutely required. If you have to drive, keep speed down to 35 MPH or slower.
After a Volcanic Eruption
Go to a designated public shelter if you have been told to evacuate or you feel it is unsafe to remain in your home.
Local authorities may not immediately be able to provide information on what is happening and what you should do. However, you should listen to Radio, watch TV, listen to the radio or check the Internet often for official news and instructions as they become available.
