The Reventador volcano, explained the Geophysicist, is located in the province of Napo, approximately 90 kilometers east of Quito. It is one of the active volcanoes in Ecuador.
The Geophysicist is the entity that monitors the activity of volcanoes in the country.
There are eight recommendations in case of ash fall:
– Wear a mask to avoid respiratory problems.
– Prevent the ash from entering the eyes by using goggles or protective lenses.
– Do not do outdoor activities.
– Do not use water to clean the ash, since it can clog the pipes.

– Sweep the ash from the patio and roof and place it in bags.

– Store vehicles and machinery to avoid engine damage.
