Aerial survey of Kamchatka's active volcanoes revealed no threats after the July 30 earthquake. The monitoring was carried out by experts from the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (IVIS) Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This was announced on August 20 on the official website of the Main Directorate (GU) of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia.

"Since the beginning of the Klyuchevsky volcano eruption, dozens of ash emissions have been recorded, in some cases the threat of ash falls in nearby settlements has been announced. <...> According to the results of our survey, there is no threat to the life of the population," said Oleg Kistanov, Deputy head of the Civil Defense and Population Protection Department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in the Kamchatka Territory.

Scientists had previously warned that an eruption could trigger mudflows. They are able to reach populated areas and block roads by moving along riverbeds. At the same time, experts stressed that there is no threat to the road at the moment — its erosion is not predicted.
