the mechanisms of 82 out of the 99 earthquakes in total located between 17 and 26 km

) conducts hazard- and
risk- assessment of natural hazards in Iceland on request by the Icelandic
government. The work is organized in accordance with the risk assessment
framework of the UN-ISDR . The main purpose of the assessments is to
minimize loss of life and increase the resilience of society by decreasing
vulnerability. IMO has over 20 years' experience regarding risk assessment

‘grf’, located near Grímsvötn. This tremor is similar in character to the
tremor that accompanied the jökulhlaup in November 2004. Presently,
there is no sign of volcanic tremor.
Earthquakes: Two earthquakes occurred beneath Grimsvötn yesterday evening:
