Description
This alert message is valid from 1 PM, Wednesday 14th April 2021 and will be UPDATED at 6PM, Wednesday 14th April 2021, or sooner if conditions warrant.
The La Soufriere Volcano remains active and varying intensities of volcanic ash are expected to spread across Barbados.
A Small-Craft Warning is issued when reduced visibility ((less than 10 km but greater than 5 km) is affecting the marine area
Hazard Info:-
**** Hazard Info ****
Early this afternoon satellite imagery has shown an ash plume traveling eastward towards Barbados in varying concentrations. Given the highly active nature of the La Soufriere Volcano, it is likely that further eruptions will occur, and depending on the intensity of the ash plume and wind direction, Barbados may continue to experience reduced visibility and further ash deposits.
KEY Messages:
Residents, visitors, and marine users must take action as ashfall will cause a significant reduction in visibility, and possible respiratory problems for persons who experience difficulty in breathing.
Persons with respiratory issues or allergies must travel with, or have close at hand, all prescribed relevant medications in case of an emergency.
Marine users should stay in port, particularly if GPS is not in use on vessels. Closely monitor the forecast for critical updates. Check that livestock have enough clean food and water. May need to shelter livestock in heavy ashfall. If you must drive, drive slowly as ashfall may reduce visibility. You may need to use car headlights because of the reduced visibility.
