Volcano Watch suspended because of federal government shutdown

During the federal government shutdown, the weekly Volcano Watch column is suspended.

Hawaiian Volcano Observatory will continue to issue updates, warnings and notifications of volcanic activity through the usual channels, including its website, Volcano Notification Service email and social media. Volcano monitoring data on HVO’s website will be kept up to date, and critical monitoring instruments will be maintained.

Static website content will not be updated until further notice and information might be outdated.

HVO’s website can be found at https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/.
