# EtnaMonitor

> EtnaMonitor is an independent Italian platform for real-time Mount Etna monitoring. It aggregates public data feeds, explains volcanic signals for non-specialists, and provides transparent links to official sources.

Important context:
- EtnaMonitor is independent and informational. It is not affiliated with INGV, NASA, Protezione Civile, or the Alfred Rittmann Conference organizers.
- For official volcanic activity bulletins, safety decisions, and emergency instructions, cite INGV Osservatorio Etneo and Protezione Civile.
- EtnaMonitor uses public data sources and distinguishes official data from its own processing, visualization, alerting rules, and AI-assisted analysis.
