May is National Wildfire Awareness Month! This week's posts highlight campfire safety. If camping and planning to start a campfire, it's important to know restrictions and to have a solid way of receiving alerts. Some outdoor activities could be prohibited in your area.

Cascade Range volcanoes at normal background levels of activity this week: ow.ly/Ib7r50VWPs7. New radio shelter installed in early May near Kapowsin, WA, west of Mt. Rainier, will provide more robust radio connectivity with Rainier Lahar Detection System stations.

It's #WildfireWednesday 🔥 Oregon’s first large wildfire of 2025, the Butte Creek Fire, was captured by our Shaniko wildfire detection camera. Smoke is visible by day, and its glow lights up the night. 🔗 Watch live at ALERTWest.live and on the Watch Duty App.

Cascade Range volcanoes remain normal this week: ow.ly/HvAc50VY9rl. Congrats to Dr. Richard Waitt, who retires from CVO on May 31 after a 50-year career that included work on Mount St. Helens, the Missoula Floods, and writing “In the Path of Destruction" about 1980 events.

Cascade Range volcanoes at normal background levels of activity this week: ow.ly/ZE8550W5gSq. Seismic station HORC at Mt. Adams was converted to a permanent site last week—the first of several permitted installations that will expand monitoring at the volcano.

Happy #FieldworkFriday! As part of our preventative maintenance, sites that experience high temp fluctuations, like station HTW, have a gravel-backed wall built along the southern side. This sun blocking barrier helps keep the equipment cool and extends the life of our equipment.

Happy #FieldWorkFriday! This week, we upgraded WOOD, a @pnsn1 seismic station in the southern Cascades. We retired the site's older equipment and installed new broadband and strong motion sensors. WOOD contributes ground motion data to USGS ShakeAlert and earthquake research.
