**This is an old event, issuing GLIDE retroactively for compatibility** The Colombian Institute of Geology and Mining Increased seismic activity of the volcano Galeras, located in the department of Nari?o in south-western Colombia, led the Colombian Institute of Geology and Mining (INGEOMINAS) to change its alert phase to Level II (likely eruption in days or weeks) on 28 March 2006. In 2005, the alert phase stood at Level II twice: for a month and a half in April/May, and for 24 days in November. Several communities around the volcano are at high risk in Pasto, Nari?o and La Florida. According to updated figures from the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE), 8,463 residents would need to be evacuated.
