Protect yourself from ash. As the eruption continues at #lasoufriere, SVG we share this information taken from the The International Volcanic Health Hazard Network #IVHHN on ash and its associated hazard. #volcano #stilldangerous #svg #uwiseismic ImageImage
Volcan ash fall will be a pervasive hazard throughout St Vincent and is expected to reach neighbouring islands such as Barbados. Volcanic ash is not necessarily deadly but can lead to respiratory problems and may also impact vehicles and plane engines. #volcano #stilldangerous

The explosive eruption at La Soufriere volcano, SVG has put a significant volume of ash into the atmosphere. Volcanic ash consists of fine particles of volcanic rock shot into the air during an explosive eruption. Prevailing wind conditions have directed the plume in a NE dirn.
Communities across mainland St Vincent will experience varying degrees of ashfall. The Grenadines may also be affected. The Barbados Met Services report that light ashfall can be expected in approx two hours. St. Lucia and Grenada may also experience ashfall in coming hours.
