USGS Volcano Hazards Program Volcano Update
AVO update page and observatory web site
Report prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey.
No reports of eruptive activity at Anatahan were received the past week, and seismic levels have remained low. Nothing unusual was observed in satellite images throughout the week.
During times of northerly winds, the Anatahan plume, if present, could be directed towards the CNMI and Guam. If this happens, residents may notice hazy air conditions and smell sulfur. The Emergency Management Office (EMO) of the CNMI government will issue volcanic haze and sulfur advisories if appropriate.
Access to the island may be restricted by the CNMI government. Contact the EMO to get the latest information.
