Hello. If you would like more information about the hazards from Mt. Baker relative to where you live, work, or go to school, there is a report, with a hazards map, that was made by USGS. If one of the places where you spend time is in a zone mapped as being in the path of possible debris flows(mud flow with consistency of wet concrete) from the mountain, you may want to find out more about the local warning systems and evacuation plans for getting to higher ground the minute a debris flow starts to come rolling down the mountain. Do the towns have sirens, for instance?
Debris flows, landslides, and avalanches can occur with or without an eruption.
REPORT:
-- C.A. Gardner, K.M. Scott, C.D. Miller, B. Myers, W. Hildreth, and P.T. Pringle, 1995,
Potential Volcanic Hazards from Future Activity of Mount Baker, Washington: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 95-498
Right now, the magma inside of Mt. Baker is not acting up, but if it starts to do so, that change in activity will be noted at the second USGS website listed below. And you can be sure that TV, print, and radio will be notified. But just because magma doesn't seem to be moving to the surface now, doesn't mean that debris flows aren't a danger.

All the other answers I've read to this question are right on! The only way to protect your self from a volcano is either not live near one or to evacuate at the first rumble. Trouble is they sometimes rumble and do nothing for ages. Then they'll set there quietly even longer, until you forget what they are and you ignore the next rumble and it blows.

In case of eruption: The others are right. Move away.
But if you don't wish to move, you ought to evacuate, at least. Do not underestimate the power of a volcano, and do not think for a moment that you will be safe living near it during a serious eruption.
