What is the USGS doing to respond?
Gari Mayberry: Well much of the USGS response have occurred already. We received a request from the government of Tanzania in late December for assistance, and we sent over a team, the three of us, to respond to that request, to see what was going on at the volcano and to see if we had any advice for how they could do some early warning. As Tom said, there is currently no equipment monitoring at the volcano so they wanted assistance with that. We provided some findings of recommendations from our trip that the government is now reviewing, and based on the feedback from that report, there may be some more things that the USGS are supposed to respond.
