We can try to stop them erupting in the first place. Alleviate the
pressure building up rather than letting it pop, drill tunnels close to
the chamber and fit slow-release valves to channel the gases along them;
identify and take out the 'key log' blocking it off so it pours out rather
than explodes. All possible just costs a lot of money and often requires a
decent warning period to allow the work to be done.
