Possible Volcano Disaster? By- Anneke Davis

In Northwest Indonesia, A volcano named Mount Lokon has been reported to Spew FRESH LAVA and ASH Sunday. This had also happened in February 2012 causing uproar in the country from those who live near the Volcano. Ash has been spewed up to 1,500 meters in the air and is still spreading. A representative from Indonesia's Natural Disaster Mitigation Board says that "there are still eruptions but could not be observed due to the haze over the volcano." Residents near the volcano are told to stay inside, and not be outside as much, due to the possible inhalation of ash.
