Background•Needs to mitigate volcanic disaster in Ecuador

•Difficulty to catch precise signs of eruption by short- period seismographs

Project Objective (2004~2009)

•Enhancement of volcano monitoring capacity by collection and analysis of long-period seismic waves and its information dissemination

Actions in 2006•Preliminary alert to authorities concerned

•Evacuation of residents in risk area
