ABOUT 87,000 people were being evacuated in Negros on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, a day after Kanlaon Volcano briefly erupted with a towering ash plume and superhot streams of gas and debris hurtling down its western slopes.The latest eruption of Mount Kanlaon on central Negros island did not cause any immediate casualties, but the alert level was raised one level, indicating further and more explosive eruptions may occur.
Disaster-response contingents were rapidly establishing evacuation centers and seeking supplies of face masks, food and hygiene packs ahead of the Christmas season, traditionally a peak time for holiday travel and family celebrations in the largely Roman Catholic nation.Authorities also shut schools and imposed a nighttime curfew in the most vulnerable areas.
