Current Situation

On October 30, PHIVOLCS raised the alert to Level 3 after a moderately explosive eruption sent an ash column 3,000 meters above the summit, though one undated report stated no eruption had occurred despite ashfall. Following the initial activity, 2,041 residents evacuated in Albay province as of October 30—including families from Tabaco, Camalig, and Ligao—while an undated report placed the evacuee count at 1,477. Recent observations recorded lava flow in Bonga Gully on November 3, sulfur dioxide emissions of 2,614 tonnes per day on November 9, six volcanic earthquakes on November 10, and another ash emission at noon on November 11. Local disaster and health offices have raised red and Code Blue alerts to coordinate monitoring and preparedness. Entry into the six-kilometer danger zone and flying close to the volcano remain prohibited due to threats of lava flows, rockfalls, and pyroclastic density currents, and nearby residents are urged to watch for ashfall and potential lahars during heavy rain.
