Fuego is one of three active volcanos that is located by
Antigua, Guatemala just south of the Mexican border. It had its strongest
eruption in more than 30 years, causing alarm for the Mexican and Guatemalan government.
Several small communities, totaling, 30 thousand people have been evacuated do
to large amounts of volcanic ash in the air and lava flow coming from the
volcano. The last time Guatemala has seen an eruption was just in 2010 and
since then the government has begun to educate people of the dangers and come
up with better disaster response efforts. Do to these measures taken people
took the alert seriously. Shelters have sheltered over one thousand individuals
overnight. “When you co-habitat with the volcano you know perfectly well that
things could worsen quickly – early warning signals can save your life,” a
resident says.
