National Volcano Early Warning System Advisory Committee (NVEWSAC)
The National Volcano Early Warning System Advisory Committee (NVEWSAC) was created in 2019 by legislation authorizing the National Volcano Early Warning System (NVEWS).
The NVEWS Advisory Committee provides advice and recommendations to the Secretary of the Interior through the Director of the U.S. Geological Survey on implementing the National Volcano Early Warning System. The NVEWSAC provides an annual report to the Secretary that describes its activities. Committee members represent their respective institutions and act as subject matter experts to enhance efficiencies in data gathering pertinent to NVEWSAC decisions and recommendations. The Committee’s membership and procedures comply with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA).
NVEWSAC annual reports and meetings are announced on this website and also published in the Federal Register in compliance with the notification requirement of section 10(a)(2) of the FACA.
