The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory monitored seismic unrest at the Taʻū volcano in American Samoa during 2022. The activity, which included earthquakes over six weeks, eventually subsided to background levels by September 2022.

In July 2022, earthquakes at Taʻū volcano shook the remote Manuʻa Islands of American Samoa for 6 weeks as the volcano experienced volcanic unrest; fortunately for the communities of Taʻū Island and nearby Ofu-Olosega Islands (also a volcano), seismic unrest subsided and returned to background levels of activity in September 2022.
