The 1715-1716 eruption of Mount Broadshaw is a volcanic eruption in progress in Nouvelle Alexandrie that began on 13.XIV.1715 AN with a series of small micrasquakes and reports of small lava flows at the crater of Mount Broadshaw, in the island of Skerryvore, in the Region of New Luthoria. Initially, the eruption started out as normal activity, in consideration to its activating eruption in 1701 AN, with small lava flows and occasional quakes, usually below 4.5Mw in magnitude at most.
The eruption has continued as a low-grade build up of magma under Mount Broadshaw in the ensuing time, leading to a 5.1Mw magnitude micrasquake on 23.II.1716 AN that led to a plume of ash and smoke from Mount Broadshaw and to heightened activity all around the volcano. This quake caused some historic buildings to collapse in New Luthoria City, killing 13 people and injuring 89.
The quake on 23.II.1716 AN was followed by aftershocks in the ensuing days, but a larger 5.8 Mw micrasquake struck on 1.III.1716 AN. The quake caused the lava dome in Mount Broadshaw to collapse, triggering a massive eruption that sent superheated ash and smoke rising over 40,000 feet (12,000 m) in the air. At least two pyroclastic flows occurred at 05:13 and 10:00 local time, but did not travel far from the crater. Three smaller eruptions followed after the large initial eruption, triggering two more pyroclastic flows at 19:36 and 21:55 local time.
Since the start of the eruption, 102 people have died, with 289 injured.

Regional government response
The government of the Region of New Luthoria and local authorities have urged residents to keep a distance of at least 5 km away from the main summit crater since the 1701 eruption of Mount Broadshaw, enforced by local and regional law enforcement, with support of the Federal Gendarmerie and the Federal Home Guard. Individuals have been prohibited from approaching 1 km or closer to the crater since 1701 AN.
The Region of New Luthoria has provided meals ready-to-eat packs, blankets, mattresses, masks, and refugee trailers in an effort to assist displaced residents. Medical supplies, water, and instant food were also supplied to affected residents. It is estimated that 380 million ecu was utilised in providing aid.
