BELLINGHAM, Wash. — As trouble persists in Hawaii with the Kilauea volcano continuing to spew ash, lava and gas, Whatcom County’s Emergency Management division is sponsoring seminars for the public on our own active volcano.

Deputy Director John Gargett says they’ve been working with federal, state, local and international agencies for the last two years updating plans should Mount Baker erupt.

Seminars are set for June 12th through 14th at Mount Baker and Nooksack Valley high schools and Isom Elementary School.

Experts will be on hand for the presentation.
