Which risk acutely increases after pyroclastic density current deposition?

💡 Explanation

Lahars increase massively after pyroclastic flows. Heavy rainfall mobilizes loose volcanic ash and debris, causing mudflows because excess unconsolidated material is readily available. Therefore lahars pose an immediate threat, rather than other processes which are slower or less directly linked to pyroclastic density currents.
