“On August 18, 1992, which was the second of the three explosions, the winds were blowing to Anchorage that day, and the ash was carried over Anchorage, and ashfall ensued on Anchorage.”
It would probably result in ash falling over Anchorage and the other settlements, given the last significant eruption occurred about 43 years ago.
In anticipation of the impending eruption, residents of Alaska who live near Mount Spurr have started to stockpile face masks, gas masks, safety goggles, latex gloves, and plenty of water.
Inhaling volcanic ash may lead to lung disorders, serious health problems for those with asthma, and irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, according to the International Volcanic Health Hazard Network (IVHHN).
