Okay. The first thing I'd to do is run into my car and drive away as fast as possible and try to beat all the traffic since everybody would be trying to get away from the volcano, you cannot survive a volcanic eruption since the ash/fumes and everything would kill you, and your home or shelter would be destroyed. Get away from the volcano, I know this and I live in the eastern US, where there is no volcanoes. My ten things would have to be:
1) A radio. Usually if there is going to be a volcanic eruption, there's usually an earthquake before and scientists usually will know if anything is wrong.
2) Food. You're going to be away from that area for a LONG time, anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to even a year or more. Just enough for a while, since you'll get more wherever you're going to away from the volcano.
3) Money. This is a no brainer, obviously. For gas, personal expenses, and more.
4)Water. It gets very hot in the area before/after the eruption.
5) Some clothes. Just clothes that protect your body parts but are still light.
6) My family.
7) First aid kit, a big one with more than Band-Aids and headache pills.
8) Music. To calm me down.
9) Something to contact other friends and family once we're at the place we want to escape to, so I can find out if they're safe. I'd bring my cell phone, and it's charger, other people may need to make a call or 911.
10) Important documents like birth certificate, Social Security, ect.
Getting away is the most important thing, as far as possible and at least three days before it is expected to erupt.
