The Montserrat Volcano Observatory (MVO) is the scientific organisation responsible for continuously monitoring the Soufrière Hills Volcano on Montserrat. Its work supports public safety by providing timely scientific advice to the authorities and helping reduce the impacts of volcanic activity. MVO tracks the volcano through seismic, ground-deformation, gas, dome and geological monitoring, alongside other technologies.

It shares updates through weekly activity reports, activity statements, hazard information and scientific reports, helping authorities and the public understand changing conditions. The observatory also conducts and supports research, projects and collaborations, and provides access to publications, data-policy information and educational resources. Its education and outreach work includes public-awareness and volcano-preparedness materials, news and frequently asked questions.

Visitors can explore an immersive self-guided observatory tour, while online resources include a live remote camera, downloads and a glossary. MVO also communicates current access guidance for volcanic hazard zones. Its activities combine scientific observation, research and public information to improve understanding of the volcano and inform decisions about risk on Montserrat
