Changed Alert Level at Kick 'em Jenny Submarine Volcano





On Thursday, July 23rd from 1:25am to 3:00am local time, a strong continuous signal was observed on instruments monitoring the Kick ‘em Jenny submarine volcano. Signs of elevated seismicity (earthquakes) began on 11th July and continue to present. For the period since the 11th July a total of more than 200 micro and small earthquakes, of varying magnitudes, have been recorded, with the largest, prior to the strong signal, less than magnitude 3.0. There have also been observations from divers of degassing occurring off the west coast of Grenada in the Moliniere Sculpture Park area. This activity is being closely monitored by The UWI-SRC and further updates would be issued as more information becomes available. Please be advised

Current Alert Level: Orange



Alert Levels for Kick `em Jenny Volcano

Alert Level Symptoms Action by Scientists Recommended action by Civil Authorities and the Public GREEN Volcano is quiet. Seismicity and fumarolic (steam vent) activity are below the historical level at the volcano. No other unusual activity detected. Maintain basic monitoring system. - Undertake public awareness campaigns. -Prepare evacuation plan for vulnerable areas. - Check the Seismic Research Unit website regularly for change in status. - Visiting scientists should submit a complete plan of their proposed activities to NERO, Grenada, for approval YELLOW Volcano is restless: seismicity and/or fumarolic activity are above the historical level or other unusual activity has been observed or can be expected without warning. - Bring monitoring system to full capability. - Civil authorities will be alerted and commuinication system tested. - Intensify public awareness campaigns. - An exclusion zone of 1.5km from the summit of the volcano should be enforced for non-essential shipping. - Visiting scientists should ensure that the Sauteurs Observatory is manned throughout their visit (at their expense) and that the Observatory can contact their ship at any time. They must also be prepared to leave the exclusion zones immediately upon request. ORANGE Highly elevated level of seismic and/or fumarolic activity or other unusual activity. Eruption may begin with less than twenty-four hours notice. - All regional governments alerted through Disaster Coordinators and Venezuelan diplomatic missions. - Sauteurs Observatory continuously manned. - Continuous communication with NERO. (GRENADA and St. Vincent and the Grenadines). - Summit area under continuous visual surveillance. - Scientists and emergency personnel within exclusion zones maintain continuous contact with the Observatory. - Vulnerable communities advised of evacuation routes and transport put on standby. - Local radio stations in Grenada, St. Vincent, barbados and Trinidad placed on alert. - Public listens to local radio continuously for updates and visits the Seismic Research Unit website if possible. -All shipping stays outside the first exculsion zone (1.5km from the summit). - Non-essential shipping (pleasure craft etc) stays 5km clear of the summit (second exclusion zone). - Visiting scientists who are not taking part in essential monitoring are regarded as non-essential. RED Eruption is in progress or may begin without further warning. - Measurements within the exclusion zones as permitted by activity. - Aerial reconaissance whenever possible. - Vulnerable areas prepared for immediate evacuation. - All shipping stays 5km clear of summit (i.e. out of the first and second exculsion zones). - Public in all vulnerable zones should listen to local radio stations for updates. pompy wtryskowe|cheap huarache shoes| bombas inyeccion|cheap jordans|cheap air max| cheap sneaker cheap nfl jerseys|cheap air jordanscheap jordan shoescheap jordanscheap wholesale jordans
