You must get your protective eyewear and masks, if you are living in Anchorage-area, because the scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey, on Friday, warned that Mount Redoubt volcano in Alaska could erupt within days to weeks. Scientists warned that Seismic activity at Mount Redoubt, the volcano situated about 110 miles southwest of Anchorage, increased recently.

According to the scientists, the increase in the movement underground at Mount Redoubt was discovered on Friday morning, and the activity is signaling that it could be days, weeks, or just hours before the volcano erupts. John Power, USGS geo-physist, said, "The sequence that began around 11:30 this morning is by far the largest burst of activity we've seen.”

Scientists from the Alaska Volcano Observatory, who are having a close watch on earthquakes underneath the 10,200-foot Redoubt Volcano, warned that volcanic eruption was impending. They advised the Alaskans to have protections against a dusty downpour of volcanic ash, which could fall on south-central Alaska.

The Alaska Homeland Security Department stated that it has called the health centers to be prepared for the worst, but the department said that it expected to be more of an inconvenience than a disaster -- kind of like a snow storm. John Madden, the director of Alaska Homeland Security, said, "We are constantly preparing for anything that can happen in the state." Madden said that the people should stay inside until the ash clears. "People should be prepared in this state with food, water and emergency gear for any hazard," he said.

Spokesperson for the municipality's Office of Emergency Management, Genevieve Maurits said, "If Anchorage sees ash fall at all, which it may or may not, it will be a trace amount, up to a quarter of an inch. As an Alaskan, I kind of relate that to snow -- if I think of a quarter inch of snow, it's relatively manageable."

The municipality's health department warned that there is a threat of ash inhalation in Cook Inlet. Steve Morris with Health and Human Services said, "They recommend you use what's called an ‘N-95' mask.”
