SITUATION OVERVIEW
The latest Scientific Advisory from the UWI Seismic Research Centre (SRC) issued at 6:00 AM on 14th April, 2021, reported the following:
• Seismic activity at La Soufrière continued the pattern established yesterday (Tuesday 13th April),
• Small long-period earthquakes continued to gradually increase in number after the explosive activity at 6:30am on 13th April. These continued until another episode of explosive activity started at 8:30 pm on 13th April. This generated continuous seismic tremor which lasted for four to five hours.

SITUATION OVERVIEW
SITUATION OVERVIEW
•Explosive events continue with significant venting of ash.
•Ashfall occurred in most areas of the island overnight and in the Grenadines, Barbados, Saint Lucia and Grenada.
•Rainfall has added to the weight of ash on buildings and the remobilization of material in streams, valleys and on hills.
•Scientists informed of possible pyroclastic flows on the eastern side of the island.
•There were some reports of individuals with respiratory concerns.
Between the 29th December 2020 and 7th April 2021, the alert level for the La Soufrière volcano in St. Vincent and the Grenadines had been elevated to Orange as a result of increased activity and an ongoing effusive eruption.
On 29th December 2020 the alert level for the La Soufrière volcano in St Vincent and the Grenadines was elevated to Orange because of increased activity at the site. The volcano has had an effusive eruption, with visible gas and steam eruption and the formation of a new volcanic dome. The volcano continues to exude magma on the surface and gas emissions can be observed from the Belmont Observatory. A UWI Seismic Research Centre team is currently in St Vincent to support monitoring and data collection and analysis.
