The Phivolcs on Thursday warned that a “hazardous eruption” of Mayon Volcano could be weeks or days away, prompting the local government of Albay to order the mandatory evacuation of residents inside the 6-kilometer radius permanent danger zone.
Paul Karson Alanis, resident volcanologist at the Phivolcs office in Legazpi City in Albay, said at least three rockfall events generated PDCs on Thursday morning.
The second one, which Bornas said was more likely to occur, would be an eruption consisting of a continuous lava flow.“The dome will continue to grow and shed a short lava flow, some rockfall but just that,” Bornas said. The Office of Civil Defense on Thursday afternoon said it conducted preparedness and coordination conferences with other concerned government agencies.
As of this month, Apsemo recorded 4,749 families, or 18,184 people, living in 14 villages inside the permanent danger zone.
