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 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

Another explosion observed. The vertical ash column estimated to have gone approximately 4km into the atmosphere. We continue to monitor and update. #lasoufrière #volcano #svg #redalert #stilldangerous Photos of the 2nd plume from the Observatory and from a camera at one of our seismic stations on the flanks of the volcano. #LaSoufriere #svg #uwi #redalert

Video footage of eruption at #LaSoufriere #SVG today. Credit: MVO, Dr Thomas Christopher @soufriere_hills @mvoms 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.

As the PM of St. Vincent and the Grenadines has ordered an evacuation for the communities in the Red Zone, we share these maps produced under the Volcano Ready Communities Project for reference. Follow @nemosvg20 for more info. #svg #lasoufrière #volcano #uwi
