The monitoring team made a visit to the La Soufrière Volcano last week for visual observations and drone survey of the dome.

2.
2.

Another visit was made to the hot springs on the Wallibou River for water sampling, gas and temperature measurements.

3.

Measurements were also undertaken of carbon dioxide in the soil along the Wallibou riverbed.

4.

Clear weather conditions at the top of the volcano allowed for aerial photographs to be taken but no new volumes were obtained due to technical problems with the images.

5.
5.

Visual observations of the inside of the volcano during the visit confirmed that slow dome growth continues with the south-eastern front of the dome now in line with the pre-existing fumarole on the 1979 dome.

6.

No new data is available on the gas coming from the volcano.

7.

The ongoing outflow of magma onto the crater floor continues with periodic changes in the rate of dome growth.

8.
8.

The gas coming from the dome continues to cause damage to vegetation in the hill side areas on the south-western side of the volcano.

These gases have become more acidic and have the capacity to cause respiratory harm to human beings which can result in unconsciousness and even asphyxiation.

There can also be a corrosive effect on the skin and eyes, even with short exposure.

It is imperative therefore, to avoid site seeing at the La Soufriere Volcano.

9.
9.

The National Emergency Management Organisation is reminding the public that no evacuation order or notice has been issued.

10.

NEMO continues to appeal to the public to desist from visiting the La Soufrière Volcano, especially going into the crater, since doing so is extremely dangerous.

11.

NEMO will continue to provide regular updates on all activities taking place at La Soufrière.

Over the weekend the monitoring team did a walk through along the west coast downwind of the volcano to test for volcanic gas.

2.
2.

Measurements of carbon dioxide in the soil was also done along the lower parts of the western sides of the volcano.

3.

Training of local volunteers in seismic data processing will continue on Thursday and Friday.

4.

Measurements to the Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM reflector) at the top the volcano is done with the support of the Lands & Surveys Department.

5.

Satellite images of the crater from Sunday 7th March, 2021 indicated that the dome continues to grow.

6.
6.

No clear ground deformation signals have been obtained from the cGPS network.

7.

No sulphur dioxide was detected during the investigation done by boat along the west (Leeward) coast.

8.

The processing of data collected from the Wallibou hot springs during last week indicated that there is no magmatic signature in the gases detected.

The water samples have been dispatched to the United States for analysis.

9.
9.

The gas coming from the dome has caused damage to vegetation in the hillside areas on the south-western sides of the volcano.

The gases within the plume are more acidic and can cause respiratory harm to human beings and have the potential to render one unconscious.

The gases can also have a corrosive effect on skin and eyes, even with short exposure.

The Seismic Research Centre and the Soufriere Monitoring Unit Team visited the volcano on Friday 19th March, 2021 to conduct a drone aerial survey and to make general observations of any physical changes.

2.
2.

Satellite radar imagery and photographs acquired on March 19, 2021 showed that the lava dome continues to grow, advancing to the north and south since the last radar image that was obtained on the 13th March, 2021.

3.

The new dome continues to grow towards the north-west and south-east with the most active gas emissions being at the top of the new dome, as well as the contact areas between the pre- existing 1979 dome and the 2020-21 dome.

4.
4.

Two campaign GPS stations were installed at Jacob’s Well and Table Rock on Friday 19th March, 2021.

5.

Work continues on the preparation and testing of a multigas monitoring instrument which will be installed at the volcano.

6.

The gases coming from the new dome are acidic and can possible cause respiratory harm to human beings.

They can also possibly cause unconsciousness and difficulty breathing.

The gases can also have a corrosive effect on the skin and eyes, even with short exposure.

14-61/HESA SUBJECT: AVIAN INFLUENZA PREPAREDNESS PLAN MARCH 01, 2006 The Honorable Peter M. Christian Speaker, Fourteenth Congress Federated States of Micronesia Second Special Session, 2006 Dear Mr. Speaker: Your Committee on Health, Education and Social Affairs, to which was referred C.R.

No.
No.

14-61, entitled: "A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERATED STATES OF MICRONESIA TO DIRECT THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS (HESA) TO FINALIZE AND PREPARE TO IMPLEMENT AN AVIAN INFLUENZA PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE PLAN.

", begs leave to report as follows: The intent and purpose of the resolution are expressed in its title.
New urgency surrounds the threat of the avian influenza A (H5N1) virus given its rapid spread to Europe and Africa from its origins in Asia.

This highlights the risk of introduction to the FSM and the disastrous consequences such introduction would have in the absence of a clearly- defined national strategy for preparedness and response.
The Department of Health, Education and Social Affiars (HESA) has undertaken to develop such a strategy, with the assistance of counterpart national, regional and international agencies.

These efforts resulted in a draft pandemic preparedness and response plan, which included avian influenza, being completed in July 2005.
Given the increased urgency of the matter given its rapid spread, discovery of human cases, and the continued possibility of mutation of the virus to allow for human transmission, Your Committee feels that this plan should be finalized and approved, without delay, as a first step toward a comprehensive national avian influenza preparedness and response strategy.

Your Committee on Health, Education and Social Affairs is in accord with the intent and purpose of C.R.

No.

14–61 and recommends its adoption.
