This week I wanted to share with you some information on Japan's volcanoes. My country has 118 of them if we count the ones in the ocean surrounding the country. Most of these are doormat but a good handful are considered restless and nine that are either erupting or have a current volcanic warning. A map of these can be seen here Here . One of the many warning systems that are present are Japan Meteorological Agency. This site shares warning and reports for all kinds of resources to help the people know what to do before and after the emergency. This link here shows the current volcanic activity and the risk level.
Great links this week! I always think about that one eruption in Japan last year that caught everyone by surprise because there were not pre-signs at all...so much to learn still!
