ST GEORGE’S, Grenada (CMC) – The University of the West Indies Seismic Research centre (UWI SRC) has advised Grenada’s National Disaster Management Agency (NaDMA) of increased seismic activity at the Kick’-em-Jenny Submarine Volcano.

UWU SRC said the latest seismic activity measured at 3.3 on Saturday with reports of the events being felt in the north of Grenada.

“UWI SRC will continue to monitor the Submarine Volcano and provide updated analyses of the situation,” the centre said in a statement.

There are currently four fully functional seismic stations in the north of Grenada monitoring Kick’ -em-Jenny.

Based on the information from UWI SRC, the alert level for Kick’ -em-Jenny remains at YELLOW. This means that the Volcano is restless and seismicity or fumarolic activity or both are above the historical level.

It also means that all marine interests should maintain the exclusion zone of 1.5 km.

The NaDMA said that it will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates.
