A lahar caused by Mount Merapi added even more damage to the volcano's vacinity. Hundreds of homes were flooded along the Code River forcing thousands to evacuate. Evacuation proved difficult as the lahar also damaged several bridges and roads in its path. As we learned in class the path of lahars is quite predictable. Had Yogyakarta been aware of this hazard im sure much of the damages could have been avoided.
