DILG to Taal, Kanlaon LGUs: Be on full alert
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has directed local government units (LGUs) to prepare for potential unrest from Kanlaon and Taal volcanoes.
This follows a minor eruption from Kanlaon Volcano last Thursday and two minor phreatomagmatic eruptions from Taal Volcano's main crater on Saturday, October 26.
LGUs are instructed to activate their disaster risk reduction and management councils, stock emergency supplies, and ensure evacuation centers are ready and safe.
LGUs are also directed to strictly prohibit entry into Taal's main crater and Daang Kastila fissure, and prepare for potential increases in volcanic sulfur dioxide.
The DILG emphasized continuous coordination with the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) and adherence to verified advisories.
Residents are advised to wear N95 masks and prepare emergency go bags, while those in danger zones must stay clear of the areas around both volcanoes.
Kanlaon Volcano remains under Alert Level 2, and Taal Volcano is under Alert Level 1.
