Level 2

The Volcanic Alert Level remains at Level 2.

Latest data analysis from the monitoring system shows volcanic earthquakes and emissions of steam at the crater summit.

The department said with the ongoing activity and the associated hazards, the danger zone is limited to the volcanic cone.

Visitors will continue to smell volcanic gas while approaching the volcanic cone.

The public has also been reminded that eruptions can occur at any level of unrest with little or no warnings.

Mt. Garet has remained at Volcanic Alert Level 2 since 31 January, 2018.

New scientific analyses suggest that there is no imminent risk of increasing activity and the Volcanic Alert Level remains at Level 2.

The volcanic activity is likely to continue in this state.

Danger is restricted to visitors approaching the active craters.

The restricted area of risk is limited in the Permanent Exclusion Zone at Benbow which is about 1 km around Benbow crater and the Danger Zone A at Marum (including Maben-Mbwelesu, Niri-Mbwelesu and Mbwelesu) which is about 2.7 km around Marum crater.
