COTOPAXI VOLCANO PRESS RELEASE 97 Based on the information of the Geophysics Institute of the Polytechnic University the Ministry of Security Coordination informs that during the last 12 hours the Cotopaxi volcano continues to present a moderate level of internal activity and a low level of external activity. This morning, the atmosphere surrounding the volcano was clear, thus emissions of water vapor were observed. These emissions reached up to 800 meters above the crater and headed northeast. No rain or ash falls were registered in the sector. The seismic activity remains similar to past days: with signals of movements of magma and fluids inside the volcano, which indicated seismic activity and tremors for long periods Recommendations If you are going mobilized cattle please do so slowly, in the morning when the ash has not been stirred up, and there is no wind. Protect sensible zones such as: eyes and snouts. In case of affectation please cleanse the areas with non-contaminated water or physiological serum.
