I suspect this is a NONE issue for most on this forum. I have experienced several in the last 55 years in Alaska. And one quasi-local one is developing a cranky attitude.

As far as preps are concerned.......don't operate machinery (cars/trucks/snow machines/etc.) Especially don't use windshield wipers or rub volcanic ash off your vehicles. Have good masks. Most stop erupting in 6 to 10 days. You could be trapped in some locations, as aviation comes to a 100 % STOP.
In Alaska it is not just our local volcanos, we get some international volcanic ash. Especially from Russian volcano eruptions. Generally damaged vehicle windshields are the typical problem.
I once had the great pleasure of being trapped in Hawaii for eight days, with all hotel and meals paid by the airline, because of Mount Spurr (Alaska) erupting on my return leg from New Zealand.
