| Alert Level | Symptoms | Action by scientists
(SRU) |
| GREEN | Volcano is quiescent, seismic and fumarolic (steam vent) activity are at or below the historical level at this volcano. No other unusual activity has been observed. | Normal monitoring |
| YELLOW | Volcano is restless; seismicity or fumarolic activity or both are above the historical level at this volcano or other unusual activity has been observed (this activity will be specified at the time that the alert level is raised). | Monitoring system will be brought up to full capability.
Civil authorities alerted.
Communication system tested. |
| ORANGE | Highly elevated level of seismicity or fumarolic activity or both, or other highly unusual symptoms. Eruption may occur with less than 24 hours-notice. | Monitoring system continuously manned. Regular visual inspection of potential vent areas.
Continuous ground deformation and hydrothermal monitoring. Daily assessment reports to civil authorities. Entry to the restricted-access zone will be permitted to scientists after an evaluation on a case-to-case basis. |
| RED | Eruption is in progress or may occur without further warning. | Measurements as permitted by safety conditions. Civil authorities advised continuously. |
| BLUE | A volcanic eruption is about to occur or is occurring near Saint and is likely to have effects in Saint Lucia's territory. Alert given by the NEMO within Saint Lucia. | Warning. Providing NEMO with Lucia information about the location of the volcanic activity, the possible type of eruption, the expected time for the eruption (months, days, hours), the expected effects in Saint Lucia due to the volcanic eruption and give suggestions of actions to be taken. |
