Abstract

This report summarizes the principal volcano hazards associated with eruptions of Kanaga Volcano. Hazardous volcanic phenomena likely to occur on or near the volcano, as well as distal effects of eruptions, are described. The present status of monitoring efforts to detect volcanic unrest and the procedure for eruption notification and dissemination of information also are presented. A series of maps and illustrations that show potentially hazardous areas are included.
