ing times of hazardous events and even on a daily
basis to further improve monitoring.
Avalanche monitoring has progressed. The em-
phasis is now on improving our services, especially
to the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration
with regard to transport. The reason is that com-
munity structure has changed considerably in recent
years and the need

strong to severe Earth shaking. The WVZ is mostly uninhabited, but the proximity of the
capital, Reykjavík, to the WVZ and the SISZ, however subjects tens of thousands of people to
moderate effects of shaking. Major power-lines to the capital, telecommunications and roads
