Give yourself 10 minutes to stop what you’re doing, turn off the lights. and stream this video with the largest screen you have. Back ground music is your choice, something that can bring you inside yourself. Allow the seconds to slip by as the December full moon glides down exactly on top of the crater’s summit with the Sun rising behind you.

We are part of this world – And this world will go on. We must choose to be stewards of this Earth and appreciate our time here in this place, in this universe, together.

I check this site (afarTV) every day since I went to Guatemala in February for the Cities on Volcanoes Conference. During that conference I got to visit the very spot where this live camera feed captures the minute-by-minute eruptive activity at Feugo Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes on Earth.

I'm a local emergency manager in the Portland metro area and primarily work in the aspects of disaster resilience, hazard mitigation, and recovery planning. I am especially interested in how hazards are integrated into a sense of place and how we can better design our communities to adapt to and work with the environment. Can we leverage our sense of community identity and belonging now, before a disaster, or do we have to learn these lessons the hard way?
