Mount Spurr AK, Volcano Coming Explosive Eruption, What To Expect

Hello all,

I'm in a new (to me) emergency preparedness situation - potential ashfall from Mount Spurr, Alaska.  Our EOP states air intake vents will be shut down and sealed, effectively shutting down all the ventilation in each building. Our concern is lack of ventilation in chemical storage rooms, flammable chemical storage rooms, and animal housing facilities. 

Does anyone have any experience with what to do during a volcanic eruption and ashfall? Google has not been very helpful for this specific topic.

Thanks,

Marcy
