Taal’s weak volcanic activity continues
Taal Volcano remains under Alert Level 2, indicating decreased unrest.
Phivolcs reported weak emission of steam-laden plumes rising 50 to 100 meters high.
The number of volcanic earthquakes recorded in the past 24 hours decreased to 20 from 29 the previous day.
These earthquakes are associated with movements or eruptions of magma, unlike tectonic quakes.
Entry into Taal Volcano Island and its Permanent Danger Zone remains strictly prohibited.
Local government units are advised to assess previously evacuated areas within the seven-kilometer radius for damages and road accessibilities, and to strengthen preparedness measures.
Residents are advised to observe precautions due to ground displacement across fissures, frequent ashfall, and minor earthquakes.
Communities beside active river channels should increase vigilance during heavy rainfall as ash deposits can be washed away to form lahars.
