The Mount Mayon Volcano Erupts in the Philippines

Nearly 13,000 people were evacuated from the southeast of the main island of the Philippines on Sunday as a result of the eruption of lava and sulfuric gas from the most active volcano in the country, according to authorities.

The 6-kilometer (3.7-mile) “danger zone” around Mount Mayon, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), has been advised to be evacuated owing to the risk of rockfalls, landslides, and ballistic pieces.

The Mount Mayon Volcano

Nearly 13,000 people were evacuated from the southeast of the main island of the Philippines due to Mount Mayon’s eruption. Due to the risk of rockfalls, landslides, and ballistic debris, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) advised that everyone within a 6-kilometer “danger zone” evacuate.

88% of the people residing in the risk zone have been evacuated since the volcano’s alert level was increased to 3 out of a possible 5, and attempts to relocate the remaining people are still being made.

  • Philippines evacuates 13,000 people southeast due to Mayon eruption risk.
  • Mayon volcano, Luzon, active, experienced 260 rockfalls, and 21 earthquakes.
  • Pyroclastic density currents discovered; Albay province declared emergency.

One of the most active volcanoes in the world is Mayon, which lies on the island of Luzon. The Mayon Volcano Network noted 260 rockfalls, 21 minor volcanic earthquakes, and lava flow activity within the last 24 hours.

Three pyroclastic density currents—hot, swift flows of ash, hot gases, and debris that rush down volcanic slopes—were also discovered by the agency. On Friday, the province of Albay was declared to be in a state of emergency, allowing the government to access response money to assist impacted citizens.

According to Phivolcs director Teresito Bacolcol, if there is an increase in volcanic tremors and inflation of the volcano’s edifice, the alert level might be raised to 4.
