What's actively dangerous right now, across every hazard type this site covers. Each section below pulls live data — see Related Pages for the full browsing experience per hazard type.
Currently elevated US volcanoes, from the USGS Hazard Alert Notification System.
| Volcano | Color Code | Alert Level | Observatory | Notice |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Great Sitkin | ORANGE | WATCH (was ADVISORY) | Alaska Volcano Observatory | Notice |
Slow eruption of lava within the summit crater continues, with weak seismicity and steaming. | ||||
| Kilauea | ORANGE | WATCH (was ADVISORY) | Hawaiian Volcano Observatory | Notice |
Kīlauea volcano is intermittently erupting short, precursory lava flows continuing the activity that began September 7. The forecast window for onset of episode 55 fountaining is now September 10-11 given no change in summit inflation since yesterday. | ||||
| Shishaldin | YELLOW | ADVISORY (was NORMAL) | Alaska Volcano Observatory | Notice |
Low-level seismic unrest continues, with weak seismicity and a summit gas plume. | ||||
| Ahyi Seamount | YELLOW | ADVISORY (was UNASSIGNED) | Northern Mariana Islands | Notice |
Faint water discoloration seen in satellite images; no significant geophysical signals. | ||||

Coverage note: Washington VAAC only (Americas, E. Pacific, Caribbean) — one of nine ICAO-mandated regional VAACs. The other eight are not yet integrated (geohazardwatch#5).
Highest-intensity high-confidence FIRMS/VIIRS detections globally, most intense first. Each entry is a single satellite detection, not a confirmed named fire — see geohazardwatch#161 for why this stays a threshold-only list rather than clustered events (real clustering work, not started) and geohazardwatch#169 for the pending reverse-geocoded place-name upgrade.

If nothing renders above, the firms-viirs feed source is not yet configured — see Wildfires for configuration details. The full interactive map, with every high-confidence detection plotted, is also on Wildfires.
Status: HANS, Tsunami, VAAC, and Wildfire sections all live. Wildfire entries are threshold-only detections, not clustered named events — see geohazardwatch#161.
