Warning banners removed

Yellow warning ribbons saved for later

31.12.2014

With enhanced SO₂ monitoring capabilities and regular dispersal forecasts IMO has decided to remove the yellow warning ribbon from the header of IMO's web. The gas dispersal forecasts will still be available and monitoring of the SO₂ release and dispersal will not decrease.

The warning ribbon will be used if the values of SO₂ are forecasted or measured to exceed the public safety limits for longer periods of time.

IMO has also decided to remove the warning for an eruption in Holuhraun, as there have not been any significant changes. The eruption is still as closely monitored as ever. Should there be any significant changes new warnings will be issued.
