It's certainly got the potential to take thousands of lives, shut down Southeast Asia and "disrupt" all the global markets, shave almost 1/2 degree C off global temp, and lay a significantly heavy blow to already beginning to struggle global agriculture, if the expected larger eruption triggers a crater collapse.

Bulk, long term food storage is one of the first things to come to my mind when considering the volcano problem with increased cosmic ray intrusion.
And I have long considered the volcano problem to be the most immediately significant and imminently impactful risk being faced on the timeline of expected events.
Besides buying in bulk and breaking down into manageable sized long-term storage as an in-house endeavor (one method I have used to put up over a year's worth of foodstuffs), there's several reliable vendors from which to choose prepackaged meals in one year quantities, storable up to 25 years.
Not an endorsement but this is another method I have used with 2 yrs. through Numanna. My Patriot Supply is another I intend to use...to add variety. Again, not an endorsement.
But today's prices 5 years from now...not even Crazy Eddie could match the savings (or earnings, depending on perspective).
With outdoor gardens (weather "smoothing" techniques applied) and an indoor "farm" (31 lighting units from Hidden Harvest Grow Lights -- ((an endorsement)) -- producing very adequate quantity, quality and variety of vegetation -- backed up with solar and energy storage solutions -- my next big step is livestock.
Starting small...rabbits...minipigs...chickens.

and Taal's not the only volcano in town. There's dozens of 'em geared up from muons now.
