On 17-18th June, explosive eruptions at Mt. Lewotobi Laki-Laki on the Indonesian island of Flores sent ash >11.5km above sea level. This highlights volcanic hazards on varying scales; pyroclastic flows & lahars threatening local communities, & ash leading to flight cancellations & delays.

8th May is the anniversary of the 1902 eruption of Mt Pelee, Martinique, which led to the loss of over 28,000 people in the town of St Pierre. The eruption remains one of the most deadly historical eruptions to date & shows the importance of focused preparedness and early action ahead of crises.

Today marks the 4th anniversary of the explosive phase of the 2020-2021 St Vincent eruption. Effective monitoring, good coordination, extensive education campaigns and efficient communications contributed to the successful evacuation of over 20,000 people with no recorded deaths.
