the impending danger of the volcano. |

The
military devised evacuation plans both for removal to the north and
off the island.
The capital, Plymouth, and southern areas of the island were evacuated
in April 1996.
1366 evacuees moved into temporary shelters in the north of the island.
The Government of Montserrat accepted aid conditions set up by the
British Government.
Many evacuees moved to neighbouring Caribbean Islands. By February
1996 the island population declined by 3,000.
A voluntary evacuation scheme was introduced to allow evacuees to
move to the UK for 2 years.
The Montserrat Volcano Observatory (MVO) devised a risk management
zone map. |
