Colombia has raised the Puracé volcano to an orange alert after recording unprecedented seismic activity and gas emissions. ⚠️At the Orange alert level, the possibility of an eruption is now higher, but this does not mean it will occur. Nathalia Contreras, Technical Director of Geohazards at the SGC, explains the technical reasons behind the change to Orange Alert and what this status means for communities. ⚠️ In the Orange alert status, the possibility that the volcano will erupt now is greater, without this meaning that it is going to happen. Saturday’s decision marks the third time since 2024 that Puracé has been placed under an orange alert.
