Kanlaon Volcano’s sulfur dioxide emissions increase in 24 hours
Kanlaon Volcano on Negros Island released 1,422 tons of sulfur dioxide over the past 24 hours, an increase from the previous day's 1,339 tons, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs).
The volcano recorded eight volcanic earthquakes in the latest monitoring period, doubling the four tremors logged as the previous day.
Alert Level 3 remains in effect, signifying a high level of volcanic unrest.
The volcano's edifice continues to be inflated, and its plume was obscured by clouds.
Phivolcs warned of potential hazards including explosive eruptions, lava flows, ashfall, pyroclastic density currents, rockfalls, and lahars.
Residents within a six-kilometer radius of the summit are still advised to evacuate, and aircraft are prohibited from flying near the volcano.
Local government units in the Negros Island Region have yet to receive P203 million in promised national government aid, hindering support for over 6,000 evacuees.
