Even when an eruption doesn't happen that often hikers should be aware of the risks they're taking when hiking an active peak. At the same time be informed how to escape in the event of an eruption, have present the direction of the wind, carry preventive masks and googles for the ashes, (in 2014 there are even pocket sized oxygen tanks for these emergencies), etc. I also think that with the technology we have today the local administration should be equipped with an accurate in situ seismic activity detector?
