Volcano |
Vanuatu |
1. Mt. Ambae volcano erupted on 27 November in Ambae Island of Vanuatu. Twelve to fifteen villages with a total population of about 5,000 have been affected. No casualties have been reported. There are no damages to houses except that they are covered with ash. Although people are still living in their homes, ash could affect their respiratory system and contaminate the source of water supply. Food crops have also been covered with ash. They have crops to last for only one to two weeks.
2. Ambae has a crater lake. There is a risk that the volcano could further erupt and cause flooding in the valleys. The Government may need to evacuate about 5,000 people in the high-risk area. The National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) is working on an evacuation plan.

Volcano |
Comoros |
The Karthala Volcano had an eruption for the second time this year in the night of Thursday 24 November, spilling ashes and smoke over the south-eastern and south-western parts of Grande Comore Island, and the Comoros capital, Moroni.
During Friday 25, the projections of ashes and smoke receded. However, seismographic data collected by the Karthala Volcanologic Observatory has shown that the seismic activity is continuing. According to the observatory, a lava lake is in formation in the crater, as of yet confined within the crater.
According to the local authorities, approximately 2,000 people fled from their villages in the region of Bambao in the central part of the island, and sought refuge in less exposed areas, such as Mitsamiouli, Mboud?, and Oichili.
