Currently, seismicity consists of episodic pulses occasionally grading into continuous volcanic tremor. Recent satellite data show plumes of steam and/or ash drifting E/SE within 50 km of Okmok at between 20,000 and 30,000 feet above sea level. Stronger explosive activity could resume at any time with little or no warning.

Volcanic ash can cause aircraft engines to fail or damage navigational instruments. The main goal is to eliminate encounters with ash that could degrade the in-flight safety of aircrews and passengers.

The Anchorage Alaska Volcanic Ash Advisory Center and Washington Volcanic Ash Advisory Center issue advisories for volcanoes in their respective areas of responsibility.
