[QUOTE="clipclop, post: 5523067, member: 595504"] The survey plan mentions an agency and a program but no real plan to study the volcanoes in BC. The Canadian Hazard Information Service says, "In Canada, there is no ongoing monitoring at individual volcanoes because eruptions are so infrequent. However, Natural Resources Canada’s [URL='http://www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/stnsdata/cnsn/']Canadian National Seismograph Network[/URL] (CNSN) currently monitors volcanic regions in British Columbia and the Yukon and can detect very small earthquakes. If unrest were detected near a Canadian volcano, NRCan would respond by providing additional targeted monitoring of seismic activity, ground deformation, gas emissions, and other phenomena in order to find out what was happening, and would prepare hazard maps and work closely with emergency planning agencies to ensure that accurate hazard information was available. During the 2007 Nazko seismic swarm in central British Columbia, which lasted two months and did not lead to an eruption, NRCan installed additional seismic stations, took soil gas measurements to look for volcanic gas emissions, conducted field reconnaissance, and prepared a preliminary hazard map."
