Hello,
(ANS) In a word you CANNOT!! minimise the effects. Any major Volcanic eruption is so powerful that the only thing human beings can do is get away from the area as fast as possible.
Why? because the dangers are VERY real and very direct. The dangers are from a) earth quakes & siezmic activity, b) lava flows, c) Pyroclastic flows which travel at well over 200 miles an hour and are the main killer of humans, d) Dust & Ash fall out which can be enough to bury entire buidings,etc.
**Nop! you cannot minimise the harmful effects can you only avoid the effects by getting away from the area and leave the volcanoe to itself until its all over.

There are no technicle ways to do it after the volcano erupted, but we can predict volcanic eruptions and evacuate beforehand. We can also prepare citizens with knowledge of volcanoes, and get ready hospitals with the nessasary equipments and medicine to treat burns.
So basically, avoiding it is the best option.

Don't build on or near Volcanoes. In the entire history of man, only one volcanic eruption has been contained, and that massive effort was only partially successful.

Move as far away from the volcano as you can
