A RED alert has been declared across the Caribbean island of St. Vincent and evacuations orders have been made after seismologists warned of a possible volcanic eruption.

The islands’s National Emergency Management Organisation said on Twitter there was a “substantial prospect of disaster,” and warned local residents to “be ready, get your things in order.”
