Pretty much it. We're at a "get people and services ready for a potential disaster" stage. And it's sort of mislabeled by the Guardian. We have three stages for events like this; "uncertainty", "alert" and "emergency". The state that's been declared is "alert" not "emergency".

Although sitting here and feeling my house rock back and forth, with the earthquake map looking like seen in the link below, I don't think it's too long until state of emergency.

Edit: And there we go. A stage of emergency was just declared for the town of Grindavík and it's being evacuated.
