Answer: 5kms

The safe distance from an active volcano is generally 5kms or more but you should check for the latest CDEM information. Beyond this distance the major hazards will be ashfall and volcanic gas. Breathing in small amounts of ash particles infrequently may only cause discomfort rather than pose a health hazard.
