Japan is a highly prepared country when it comes to natural disasters. One of the many reasons I spent the New Years of 99-00 there
I spent the majority of my time on the southernmost island, Kyushu, and there is a volcano called Sakurajima that regularly spouts ash. There are regular drills for the locals all the time. The yellow hardhats are super stylish and effective.
