Seth
"Please join us for the 'U.S. Geological Survey’s National Volcano Early Warning System (NVEWS) – An Update' Townhall on THURSDAY DECEMBER 14 @ 1:00pm in Moscone West 2008
The U.S. Geological Survey’s Volcano Science Center (VSC) and its five volcano observatories, along with partner agencies and universities, is responsible for monitoring activity at the nation’s 161 potentially active volcanoes and issuing early warning of hazardous activities that pose a threat to people, communities, and infrastructure. The National Volcano Early Warning System (NVEWS) was conceived to support this mission and ensure that the nation’s volcanoes are monitored at levels commensurate with their threat. As authorized in 2019 by 43 USC 31k, the complete NVEWS plan includes modernized and expanded ground- and space-based monitoring networks, a 24/7 National Volcano Watch office capacity, a National Volcano Information Service (NVIS), an external grants program, and advisory committees.
This Townhall meeting will feature updates from USGS Volcano Hazards Program and VSC staff about ongoing efforts to modernize and expand volcano monitoring networks, initial NVIS-related development projects, ongoing efforts to increase interoperability across observatories, ongoing discussions about how and when to implement an external grants program, and other NVEWS-related topics. Anyone interested in learning more about NVEWS and/or providing feedback to NVEWS managers is welcome and strongly encouraged to attend - we hope to see you there!"
