Q: If you live near a volcano, your community likely has a plan in place to warn people that the volcano may erupt. In many cases, sirens and emergency alerts on televisions are used to alert people that danger is imminent. Local radio stations will also broadcast important advisories. Since each region is a little different, it's important to know the specific warning procedures in your area. As soon as you hear a siren, turn on the radio to find out what the local emergency management agency advises. You may be told to stay indoors, keep away from certain areas, or, in extreme cases, evacuate. If you don't live in the area, and you're just traveling through, you should still be familiar with the region's warning system so you'll know what it means when you hear it. If you live near a well-researched and well-monitored volcano, you can probably obtain a hazard-zone map from your local emergency management agency or, in the U.S., from the U.S. Geological Survey. These maps show the probable paths of lava flows and lahar (or mudflows) and give estimates for the minimum time it would take a flow to reach a given location. They also divide the area around the volcano into zones, from high-risk to low-risk. Using this information you can get some idea of how safe your house or workplace is, and you can plan the best route of escape. Because volcanic eruptions are complex and, to some extent, unpredictable, you should have several alternative routes to reach one or more "safe zones." Figure out what you'll need to do if you hear the sirens go off. Map out exactly where your family will go, and figure out the safest way to get there. Keep in mind that if the sky is filled with ash, you won't be able to travel far by car, since ash interferes with mechanisms in car engines and prevents them from operating correctly. Talk with each of your family members about the evacuation plan. Make sure everyone knows exactly what to do and where to meet. Don't forget to include your pets in your evacuation plan. It's a good idea to have a checklist you can run down so you make sure you don't forget anyone or anything in the heat of the moment. Include a list of the people and animals that should be present, the possessions you'll take with you, and fast actions you might take to seal up your house to prevent as much damage as possible. Store at least a two-weeks supply of food and portable water at your home. In the event of an eruption, water supplies may become contaminated, so you can't count on your well or public water. Keep all your supplies in one placea large container that you can carry, for exampleso that you can quickly bring them with you if you need to evacuate. In addition to food and water, stock up on the following: A first aid kit Blankets and warm clothing A battery-powered radio and fresh batteries so that you will be able to listen to advisories if the power goes out Necessary medications A map of the region If you will be visiting a volcano, knowledge is your most important protection. Before going to the volcano, consult with local authorities, and heed their recommendations or warnings. Learn about the hazards you may encounter in the area of the volcano, and get a reputable guide to accompany you, if possible. If you're going to be climbing or hiking near the volcano, you should bring a few survival items that will help you survive if you're caught outside without access to shelter. You'll need a respirator and goggles to protect your face and help you breathe. Bring long pants and long-sleeved shirts. Bring plenty of water in case you become unexpectedly trapped by a lava flow, and don't overexert yourself. You'll be able to react more quicklyand run for your life, if necessaryif you're not fatigued.
A: Know your community's warning system. Get familiar with the evacuation procedures. Develop a household evacuation plan. Stock up on necessities. Be prepared when you're traveling near a volcano.

Article: In a pot or microwave-safe dish, pour cup (59 ml) honey. Add 1 cup (200 g) of white sugar, then 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir to combine evenly. The texture will appear grainy when first mixed. If you're using the stovetop, turn the burner to low or medium heat and stir periodically as the mixture heats up. If you're using a microwave, nuke it for 10 to 30 seconds. Then remove the dish, stir the mixture, and repeat as needed, for a combined cooking time of roughly a minute, depending on your microwave's strength. In either case, remove the mixture from before it comes to a boil or starts to cook. If using a high setting on a microwave, stick to 10-second bursts in between stirring so you don't overheat it. Use a food thermometer to check its temperature. The mixture shouldn't rise over 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius). Even though you didn't bring your mixture to a boil, keep in mind that it's still pretty hot. Give it a chance to cool down to the point that it's still warm, but safe to touch. Give it 15 or 20 minutes at least before testing with your finger. Once that feels fine, apply a very small dab to the area that you're going to wax to test it, just in case it's more sensitive. If you'd like, stir in a few drops of your favorite scented oil as it cools for a more fragrant wax. Give your mixture a stir with your spoon. The grainy texture should have thickened and grown smooth during heating. If it seems liquidy, stir in another tablespoon of sugar and return it to heat. Remember: since it's already hot, it shouldn't take very long for the extra sugar to melt and combine with the honey, so don't overdo it.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Mix your ingredients. Heat your mixture. Let it cool down before using. Check the texture while you wait.

Q: Most local pharmacies sell this vomit inducing agent over the counter as a syrup. Ipecac syrup is made from a plant that contains chemicals that irritate your digestive tract and cause your brain to believe that you need to throw up. This is a convincing way to get your teacher to send you home from school. The teacher will likely think you are sick and send you home right away. Depending on the brand of ipecac syrup you buy and the way in which it is administered, there may be special instructions that you need to keep in mind. Taking too much ipecac syrup may have serious health effects, including possible damage to your heart and muscles. Generally, you should take one to two full glasses of water (8 to 16 ounces) to help the ipecac syrup induce vomiting. It may be an effective strategy for you to keep some ipecac syrup in your locker. This way you can excuse yourself from class for a drink of water or to retrieve a notebook and take your ipecac then. Milk and even milk based products may reduce the effects of ipecac syrup, so you should avoid these before taking it. Carbonated beverages, on the other hand, can cause your stomach to swell, which may cause discomfort. Generally, ipecac syrup should take effect and cause you to vomit in less than a half hour. If it does not, you can take a second dose with another one to two glasses of water. Do not exceed the label recommendations for how much ipecac syrup you take. While you might be able to get sent home simply by vomiting in the bathroom, if you want to guarantee being sent home, you should vomit in class and in sight of your teacher. Since ipecac syrup can take effect quickly, be sure you have quick and easy access to a garbage can.
A:
Buy some ipecac syrup at your local pharmacy. Observe label directions. Take with a full glass of water. Avoid milk and carbonated beverages. Take a second dose if vomiting does not occur in 20 to 30 minutes. Plan your spew location for greatest effect.
