1,469volcanoes in the Holocene catalog
Only the U.S. Geological Survey publishes an aviation colour code, and only for United States volcanoes. Elsewhere a volcano can be erupting with no colour attached, so “no level given” means nobody in these feeds assigned one — not that the volcano is calm.
REPORTING · NOT A HAZARD SOURCE
Volcano reporting from United States
Headlines are gathered from Google News and belong to the publishers named. They are context for the official readings above, not a warning, a confirmation, or a source this app measures anything from.
WHAT EACH SOURCE COVERS
A colour code is about aviation
Green through red describes hazard to aircraft from ash. It is not a ranking of danger to people on the ground nearby.
Coverage is uneven by design
USGS publishes alert levels for United States volcanoes only. A volcano elsewhere can be erupting with no level attached at all.
Catalogs lag live reports
The Smithsonian record is authoritative because it is reviewed, which means it arrives after the eruption, not during it.
