Phivolcs raises Kanlaon Volcano alert to Level 3 after explosive eruption
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) raised Kanlaon Volcano's alert status to Level 3 following an explosive eruption on December 9, 2024.
Kanlaon has shown continuous seismic activity since June but was previously at Alert Level 2.
The upgrade to Alert Level 3 indicates the beginning of a magmatic eruption that could lead to further explosive eruptions.
Phivolcs warns that Kanlaon remains unpredictable and advises residents within the danger zone to stay alert and follow local authorities' instructions.
Local communities near the volcano are being closely monitored, and updates on any changes in activity will be regularly communicated by Phivolcs.
