Hello Emily - I'm cc'ing Gari Mayberry - she's the USGS representative for USAID, and is involved in VDAP activities. I hope Gari can direct you to the best persons/agencies for information. Gari - nice to hear your voice last week. Thank you! Thanks, Cheryl -------- Ermily Niebuhr wrote: To whom it may concern: I used to be a meteorologist in Alaska and now work for the World Food Programme. Right now we have concerns about the volcano Nyiragongo and Nyamuragira in the Democratic Republic of Congo. When I lived in Anchorage I visited the AVO and was quite impressed by your work and I was wondering if you know any researchers or organizations who are closely monitoring the volcano and may be able to provide us with updated information on any associated risks. Thank you again for your help and I hope all is going well!
