The intensity of the seismic activity associated with Kick ’em Jenny, the ‘live’ submarine volcano located between Grenada and Carriacou, has decreased.
A press release from the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management on Friday noted that between noon on Thursday and 8:30am on Friday, 72 seismic events were recorded. This corresponds to an average of three to four tremors per hour, which the network says reflects a lower level of activity compared to the start of the episode, which began on Wednesday.
The ODPM reiterated that while activity is continuing, all marine interests should maintain a 1.5-kilometre exclusion zone around the volcano. At this time, the submarine volcano itself poses no direct threat to Trinidad and Tobago.
