I was wondering why the RED/WATCH alert isn't used when its definition seems to match this case? Is it related to the fact that Bogoslof is not monitored on the ground? I know that particular alert has never been put into use by any of the observatories to date (and RED/WARNING has only been used by you since the "new" system was put in place), so what exactly would trigger the application of a RED/WATCH instead of RED/WARNING? I ask because it seems like it would be an impractical alert anyway, at least in most cases. On a separate note, is it practical for monitoring to ever be installed at Bogoslof, maybe even on Fire Island, or is it pointless? ---------------------------------------------------------------- REMOTE IP ADDRESS: 137.229.113.11 USER AGENT/BROWSER: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36 REFERRING PAGE: https://avo.alaska.edu/contact.php
