Kanlaon volcano registers 12 earthquakes, 5 ash emissions

Kanlaon Volcano recorded 12 volcanic earthquakes and five ash emission events in the last 24 hours.

These emissions generated moderate plumes that rose up to 300 meters and drifted westward.

The volcano's sulfur dioxide flux was measured at 4,114.9 tonnes per day between Monday and Tuesday, an increase from previous measurements.

Kanlaon Volcano remains under Alert Level 3, indicating intensified magmatic unrest.

Residents within a six-kilometer radius are advised to evacuate, and aviation authorities are warned to prohibit flights near the volcano due to potential ash clouds.

Phivolcs warned of potential hazards, including sudden eruptions, lava flows, ashfall, pyroclastic density currents, rockfalls, and lahars during heavy rainfalls.
