Since 20 October 2014, the Chiles and Cerro Negro volcanoes have increased volcanic activity causing several earthquakes and tremors. These volcanoes are located on the border between Ecuador and Colombia. The strongest earthquake felt until now occurred on that same date at 2:33 pm local time, registering 5.8 on the Richter scale with a depth of less than 10 kilometres. The Chiles and Cerro Negro volcanoes monitoring network continues to register quakes at the Colombian-Ecuadorian border with an epicenter area southwest of the Chiles volcano.
According to Geophysical Institutes of Ecuador (IGEPN) and Colombia reports, the Cantons of Tulcán and Espejo are in the areas under the greatest influence from the eruptive effects of the Chiles and Cerro Negro volcanoes. Under these conditions, on 22 October 22 COE meeting the Risk Management Secretariat declared an Orange Alert for areas considered high-risk in the province and kept Technical Task Forces permanently active.
Preliminary data from the Ecuador Risk Management Secretariat reported damage to access roads to the Maldonado Parish in the Canton of Tulcán. The Ministry of Transportation and Public Works is rehabilitating the alternate road connecting the Parish of Chical and the Province of Imbabura, which will serve as an evacuation route should another natural event occur.
The areas affected by the volcano-caused earthquakes are the Cantons of Tulcán and Espejo, putting approximately 15,000 people at risk.

Complex Emergency |
Nigeria |
Recently there has been a spate of suicide attacks on civilians in towns and villages, markets and places of worship, national, international and traditional institutions, shopping malls, commuter bus terminals and petrol service stations. The Nigerian Government has declared the state of emergency in the States of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe. An important influx of Internal Displaced Population has been reported during the last months. IDP Camps have been opened by the Adamawa State Emergency Management Agency (ADSEMA) in Girei, in Mubi and other parts of this State. By the end of September, the Nigerian Red Cross registered more than 4,000 with a daily registration of at least 100 IDPs while there is an increased influx of IDPs into host communities across Yola, Mubi, Gomi, Fufure, Maiha, Numan, Lamurde, Ngurore and Girei LGAs in Adamawa State. Registration of IDPs in host communities is ongoing and around 75,000 IDPs living in host communities have been registered by other organizations in these areas. Mubi LGA of Adamawa State is also hosting a large number of IDPs that fled from Gwoza, Askira Uba, Damboa and Chibok LGAs of Borno State and Michka and Shua LGAs of Adamawa State.
The unrest has killed at least 8,600 civilians (according to NEMA), but an exact figure is difficult to calculate. The killings had occurred in over 70 towns and villages in four North- Eastern States of Nigeria (Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno and Yobe states), including Federal Capital Territory Abuja, Kano, and Kaduna. There has been a dramatic increase during 2014 in the number of casualties from explosions, including several apparent suicide attempt bombings (including teenage female suicide bombers). Since January, more than 400 people have been reportedly killed in 14 explosions in crowded places. The pace of attacks has dramatically intensified in remote villages since May 2013 when the Federal Government imposed a State of Emergency (6 months) in the North-Eastern states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe. The State of Emergency has been extended on two occasions.
More than 600,000 people in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states (70 percent of them women and children) have fled their homes since early 2013, according to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). |
