La Palma Through the Lens of Sendai

dewlineA few years back, Gwynne Dyer wrote an essay on global geophysical events - "gee-gees" in geo-scientist slang c. 2004 - such as we saw last week at Sendai in Nihon/Japan:

You'll note that he used as an example of such events the Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Canary Islands. Seems there's some legitimate concern about what this could do to a very large chunk of the human race on four continents. Point-blank: some of you live in some of the places he names as expected to suffer heavily should Cumbre Vieja "wake up" in sufficiently nasty fashion. Some of you live in places he didn't name but are still in the danger zones.
Has anyone been tracking what's being done to keep a closer eye on this particular problem child among volcanoes, just in case?
