Abstract
Through the financial support of a recent project by an international foundation, lahar monitoring was initiated in the upper Jamapa watershed, located on the northern flank of the Pico de Orizaba volcano, inside the Pico de Orizaba National Park, where historically and also recently the occurrence of this type of phenomenon took place. The implementation of this system, focused on the monitoring, study, and later also the warning of lahars, implies the acquisition of multiparametric data, among which hydrometeorological, seismic and visual data are included. As it is a system that will fulfill the warning function, the data must be available in real-time at the monitoring center of the Seismological and Volcanological Observatory of Veracruz (Xalapa) for its storage, processing, and timely evaluation. To this end, a local telemetry network has been implemented that, in the first instance, obtains the data from the instruments at the sites of interest and subsequently proceeds to concentrate all of them at a point that houses the POHV permanent seismic monitoring station of Pico de Orizaba volcano, which represents a suitable site to transmit all the information generated by this network to the city of Xalapa.
