In 1815, Mount Tambora in Indonesia erupted. This one eruption can be seen in global climate records, lowering temperatures worldwide and causing heavy rain which ruined crops.
If one eruption can have that effect, we can only begin to imagine what destruction would be caused if all 1500 active volcanoes went off simultaneously.
How to survive
While planning can help, unfortunately much of your chance of survival is down to luck. If you are unlucky and happen to be in the vicinity of an erupting volcano, no amount of prepping can save you.
In the short term, the best place to survive could actually be a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean.
Cruise ships are armed with food, medical supplies, and clean water, but most importantly, are usually not near any volcanoes.
While you would eventually need to return to land for supplies, at least in the short term you would survive the initial impact.
To prepare for any catastrophic event, the most important thing is having adequate supplies of food and water.
However, with a volcanic eruption, there are a few other necessities to factor in.
The skies will be covered in ash, making it very dark, and inhibiting sunlight reaching us. This lack of sunlight could prevent us getting enough Vitamin D which is crucial for calcium absorption.
Additionally, a lack of sunlight could also affect your serotonin production, resulting in anxiety and depression.
With global temperatures dropping, a good supply of warm clothes would also be crucial.

In the short term, the best place to survive 1,500 volcanoes simultaneously erupting would actually be a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. Cruise ships are armed with food, medical supplies, and clean water but most importantly, are usually not near any volcanoes
