Volcanic risk assessment in Terceira Island, Azores (2023-05-23)

Description

Activation date: 2023-05-23

Event type: Volcanic activity

Activation reason:

Since the summer of 2022, Terceira Island is experiencing an increase in seismic events, mostly located around the Santa Bárbara volcano. Due to the levels of microseismic activity, several evidences, and reports, the Azores Seismovolcanic Information and Surveillance Center (CIVISA) have declared alert V2 (possible reactivation of the system).The Risk & Recovery Mapping service has been activated by the Serviço Regional de Proteção Civil e Bombeiros dos Açores (SRPCBA) to support their activities for risk reduction and preparedness in case of a volcanic eruption in Terceira island. The products generated include:the simulation of the lava flow pathways considering different potential eruption sources and;the level of exposure on the population, both resident and seasonal vacationers, and the infrastructures that could potentially be damaged.Results from these products are deemed sensitive and not appropriate for public distribution.
