Established in 1995, the Montserrat Volcano Observatory monitors the Soufrière Hills volcano, which has been active since 1995, leading to significant eruptions and changes in the island’s landscape and population.
The MVO conducts various scientific studies, including geological and geophysical monitoring, to assess volcanic activity and provide early warnings of potential eruptions. It plays a crucial role in public safety, offering information and advice to residents and authorities to help manage the risks associated with living near an active volcano.
Weekly reports of volcanic activity are posted on the official website, Facebook, and Instagram pages.
