Potential hazard zones produced by the drainage basin analysis for a 30 km buffer applied to: a) Suswa in Kenya and b) Fentale in Ethiopia when two different vent locations are used: that given by Smithsonian Institution’s Global Volcanism Program at the time of our study (blue triangle and shaded area) and that given by the centre of the summit crater (black triangle and outline)

This hazard map is the result of scientific research and was published in academic literature. It is presented here to serve as an example of the map type or the map-making methodology. It is NOT the official, operational map. For the current operational hazard map, please consult the proper institutional authorities.
