. “Orange” means that an eruption is likely or already happening, but it’s not creating major hazards.
Five volcanoes rumbling at the same time might sound like a lot, but Lyons said it’s not uncommon for the state. “There’s so many active volcanoes in Alaska, having five that have an elevated color code isn’t really extraordinary,” Lyons said. Takawangha is about 55 miles west of Adak and could threaten the city of around 200 people should it erupt, but Lyons said the current advisory level is no cause for concern.
“The potential hazard to people in Adak is very low right now. And because the volcano is so well monitored, and because the Alaska Volcano Observatory is keeping an eye on it, there will be signs and we will catch those signs and put out timely notices if there’s any change in activity,” he said.Share this story:Update notifications
