Maps of Montserrat showing major towns and cities, exclusion zones and major revisions to them over time. Map (ii) is one of several revised maps showing the microzonation of Montserrat into seven hazard zones (A-G). Access to some of these zones, particularly A and B, depended on the alert level (0 through to 5; 5 being the highest alert level rendering zones A-D inaccessible). Note that zone D was subsumed into zone C following the events of June 25th. Map (iii) shows the three broad zones which replaced microzonation. Map (iv) was implemented in August 2008 in response to the new hazard level system http://www.mvo.ms/pub/Hazard_Level_System/. All maps have been redrawn from the original Montserrat Volcano Observatory maps.
