USGS elevated alerts

These are the volcanoes USGS returned from its elevated-volcano feed. Alert level and aviation colour code are the words USGS sent. The time is sent_utc from that notice.

GeoNet alert level 1 or higher

GeoNet’s volcanic alert feed was filtered to level 1 and above, the same cut the Travel Live file uses. The activity and hazard sentences, when present, are GeoNet’s text. GeoNet did not include a timestamp on these features; the feed was read at 3 Nov 2026, 08:16 UTC.

Open volcano events on NASA EONET

EONET’s request was status=open and category=volcanoes. An open event can be ongoing activity with an older geometry time. The date column is the latest geometry time EONET attached, not a claim that the volcano erupted on that date.

The Travel Live data file, read only, last marked its volcano block at 2026-11-03T08:14:30+00:00. USGS names, alert levels and colour codes in the Travel Live data file match this fresh USGS read GeoNet names, levels and colours in that file match this fresh GeoNet read

How to read this

USGS and GeoNet publish two labels side by side: a ground alert level and an aviation colour code. This page prints both as the agencies sent them and does not translate them into a travel instruction. The notice link is the agency’s own page for that volcano.

A volcano that is missing from the USGS elevated feed is one USGS did not put in that feed on this read. It is not a statement that the volcano is quiet. EONET’s open list is a separate catalogue of events NASA is tracking, and many of those titles stay open for a long time.

The Travel Live country file is a second copy of the USGS and GeoNet alerts, written by the Travel Live refresh. It is quoted here only as a comparison. The tables above come from a fresh read of the three public feeds.

Country links: United States, New Zealand, Chile, Nicaragua, Russia, Papua New Guinea, Japan, Costa Rica, Philippines, Peru, Vanuatu, Colombia, Mexico, Indonesia, Italy, Guatemala, Ecuador. City guides are not linked from a volcano name unless that name is itself a guide city, which these are not.

Quick answers

Which volcanoes are on an elevated USGS alert right now?
USGS’s elevated-volcano feed lists 3: Great Sitkin WATCH/ORANGE; Kilauea WATCH/ORANGE; Ahyi Seamount ADVISORY/YELLOW. Notice times are in the table.
What do the colour codes mean?
They are the aviation colour codes USGS and GeoNet published (for example ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN). This page does not restate a definition of its own. The USGS notice linked on the row is the text USGS issued.
Is an EONET “open” volcano erupting today?
Not necessarily. Open is the status this request asked EONET for. The geometry time on the row is the time EONET attached to the latest point. Read that time before treating the row as new activity.
How does this relate to the Travel Live country pages?
Those pages already carry a short volcano line from the same agencies. The file’s volcano block was last marked at 2026-11-03T08:14:30+00:00. USGS names, alert levels and colour codes in the Travel Live data file match this fresh USGS read GeoNet names, levels and colours in that file match this fresh GeoNet read
Does this page say it is safe to visit a volcano?
No. It lists the alert level, colour code and the agency’s own sentence where the feed included one. Park closures and access rules are on the observatory notice, not here.
