Éruption — Sheveluch

Sheveluch volcano in Russia is experiencing active eruption with continuing lava effusion and explosive activity at the lava domes. The volcano remains at Orange alert level, the second highest on the aviation color code scale. Thermal anomalies have been detected in satellite imagery over recent days, though cloud cover has occasionally limited visibility of the volcano.

If you are within the affected radius of approximately 50 km, you should be aware that volcanic hazards including ash fall, lava flows, and explosive activity pose a direct risk. Monitor local air quality and visibility conditions, as volcanic ash can affect respiratory health and transportation. Follow all instructions from local authorities and emergency services regarding evacuation routes or shelter-in-place orders if issued.

Stay informed through official channels and avoid the immediate vicinity of the volcano. Contact local health authorities if you experience respiratory symptoms or other health concerns. This alert is based on reports from the Kamchatkan Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT).
