HIGH
Agriculture (ashfall damage to crops)
Tourism (travel disruptions, attraction closures)
Transportation (visibility hazards, flight delays)
Energy (ash accumulation on solar panels, power infrastructure)
Retail and hospitality (reduced visitor spending)
Insurance (claims for property/crop damage)
Households in affected areas face health risks from ashfall, potential crop losses affecting food prices, travel disruptions, and property damage. Agricultural workers and tourism-dependent communities face income uncertainty.
Government may need to activate disaster relief programs, provide agricultural subsidies for affected farmers, enforce evacuation protocols in the 6km danger zone, and coordinate with insurance regulators on claim processing. Infrastructure investment in ash-resistant systems may be warranted.
