PHIVOLCS

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) monitors and warns the public about volcanic and seismic activities in the Philippines, providing critical data to mitigate risks from eruptions and earthquakes. Recent reports highlight increased unrest at several volcanoes, including Mayon, Taal, and Kanlaon, with Phivolcs advising caution and evacuation in high-risk areas. The agency also handles incidents like the theft of monitoring equipment and assesses seismic events to ensure public safety.
