Volcanoes & Volcano Prep
Venezuela does not have any volcanoes in the country. However, the nearest volcanoes to Venezuela are the St. Catherine volcano which is above Venezuela in the West Indies, Grenada. Other volcanoes that are near Venezuela are located consecutively in Colombia which is next to Venezuela.
Although Venezuela does not have any explosive volcanoes, it does have a few mud volcanoes which are located on the Orinoco Delta in Easter Venezuela. Mud volcanoes are small vents on the ground that discharge hot mud. They are not like other volcanoes because they neither produce lava and are not driven by magmatic activity. Due to the fact that Venezuela does not have any volcanoes, they do not prepare for volcano eruptions. However, they do warn people of tsunamis in the case underground volcanoes erupt which was the case in 2015 with the underwater Kick 'em Jenny volcano.
