Keep the official pages with your itinerary
Save the Protección Civil notices page and MARN public seismic information before your trip. Protección Civil’s dated notices are the channel to check for volcano warnings, while MARN provides public seismic information for earthquakes. [source]
Use each page for its stated purpose. Read official instructions for the place and date in your plan rather than drawing a travel conclusion from a seismic display.
Read a notice for your place and date
Open the full Protección Civil notice and identify three details:
- The date on the notice.
- The place or volcano it names.
- The instructions written for that notice.
Match those details to the stop and date in your itinerary. Reopen the official notice page when you change destinations or travel dates.
