Hazard map

Issued 6 September. Valid until 15:00, 10. September 2024 barring any developments

Due to the current eruption the hazard level has increased in the areas.

The map shows assessment of hazard currently presented as well as hazards which could occur with short warning. The hazard assessment is only done for selected zones but might also be present beyond those.

The colour of the zones represents the overall hazard within those zones. A hazard which is rated greater within a zone is written in bold letters in the list below.

One update has been made to the hazard assessment map. Zones 3, 5, and 6 have been expanded by 2 km to the northeast. This change was made for two reasons. First, the new lava field created in this eruption has extended beyond the previous boundaries of these zones. Second, the magma dike formed on August 22 extended further northeast than zone 3 previously covered
