At #LaSoufriere #StVincent this project worked with @uwiseismic & @NEMOSVG from 2014-2018. NEMO asked us to make some communication films and @VincieRichie shared his expertise about past eruptions on a tour of the island.

Filmed in 2016, in this video @VincieRichie explores the impacts of the 1902 #LaSoufriere eruption on the Leeward side of the volcano. He explains how we use the deposits to understand the eruption 2/8
Now @VincieRichie from @uwiseismic has jumped over to the Windward side (Rabacca Bridge) explains why its important not to be near or north of this bridge during explosive eruptions #staysafe (filmed in 2016) @NEMOSVG 3/8
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
Occurred at 2:45 pm local time. Plume was clearly seen from the capital.

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.
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
