This after the Prime Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Ralph Gonsalves, issued a disaster alert due to the increase in activity of the Sufriere volcano, which has left a series of tremors at the beginning of the day.
The authority reported that the necessary measures are being taken and have alerted nearby residents to be prepared to evacuate in the short term, if necessary. Geologist Richard Robertson specified that at 03:00 local time today, the monitoring stations reported seismic activity, local media reported.
He detailed that there were long-duration earthquakes, which indicates that fresh magma is trying to reach the surface, and this may mean that the volcano may go into an explosive phase.
For its part, the Belmont Observatory, led by scientists from the University of the East Indies (SRC) Seismic Research Center, keeps seismic activity monitored.
