Lahars can occur anytime there is a volcanic eruption or when large amounts of rainfall or snowmelt mix with volcanic debris on a slope. Their frequency varies depending on the volcanic activity and local weather conditions, but they can happen during or after an eruption. Monitoring volcanic activity and having early warning systems in place are essential to mitigate their impacts.
