BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Earthquake at Colombia-Ecuador border triggers fears of volcanic eruptions

October 23, 2014 Reprints

A 5.6-magnitude earthquake that recently hit the Colombia-Ecuador border region has triggered fears of eruptions at two volcanoes – Cerro Negro and Chiles – reported Colombia Reports.

The Colombian Geological Service has raised the alert level to orange, which indicates "probable eruption in term of days to weeks." Any eruption would mostly affect Colombia's Narino region. Cerro Negro and Chiles have not erupted in the last 160,000 years, reports Colombia Reports.
