What is an Eruption Notice?

Eruption Notices provide information on volcanic eruptions occurring after a period of inactivity or those on an unprecedented scale that may lead to a change in the volcanic alert level.

They allow people such as climbers entering volcanic areas to take appropriate protective action.
