Answer:

When a Volcano erupts near an urban area like Guatemala City, it is necessary to evacuate the entire people living surrounding the erupted location. Evacuation is necessary because when Volcano erupts, it not only throws out hot lava but rocks, ashes, dust, and many harmful gases which is poisonous to human health. People lose their properties and have to find a new location to settle.
