GMT: 00:00 Alert: The Soufriere Hills Volcano has been showing periods of higher than normal activity over the last few weeks. Yesterday, activity levels rose once again. Ash clouds have been nearly constant for over 24 hours. Yesterday, the prevailing winds were from the south, carrying the ash over much of the northern part of the island. Ash depth is 1 cm at the St. Johns observation station. Directives: Make a list of the current and potential medical and safety hazards associated with the volcano and tropical storm. You must understand the potential issues so that you may be prepared to handle any situation that may occur. Develop a list of options. Thinking medically, begin to prepare your first communications broadcast. This will be submitted online for transmission to the island.
