Securely Travel Brief – 05 June 2018
Today’s brief is culled from global travel warnings and alerts.
U.S. - Hawaii - Kilauea - Kilauea volcano 30 days of lava flow
It has been 30 days since the Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island has begun releasing its molten lava via the Lower East Fissure Zone. We’ve witnessed the Halemaumau cauldron continually be drained, and as the rocks and sides of the cauldron fall into the lowering lack, the ash clouds surge into the skies.
It's been more than a month since the start of #Kilauea's latest eruption. In this infographic #HVO breaks down 30 days of activity by the numbers. (Because of the dynamic nature of this eruption, some numbers will become outdated quickly.) https://t.co/X1r1LguYDX #KilaueaErupts pic.twitter.com/N8PYddWWOz

Guatemala - Volcano Fuego’s death toll rises
The Guatemalan government have advised that at least 70 (and more expected) have perished in the volcanic eruption of the Fuego volcano. Governments are advising their citizens to avoid the area and if they are traveling in Guatemala to advise their family members that they are safe and or register their presence with their respective diplomatic missions.
#Guatemala Natural Disaster Alert: The Guatemalan government strongly urges against travel to the following areas: Escuintla, Chimaltenango, Sacatepequez, including Antigua. La Aurora International Airport has reopened with flights resuming this morning. https://t.co/2zM9z6OJUQ pic.twitter.com/i5I585xWEj
