Mayon alert raised to Level 2, airmen told to avoid Taal too READ MORE:
“DOST-Phivolcs is raising the Alert Level of Mayon Volcano from Alert Level 1 to Alert Level 2 . This means that there is current unrest driven by shallow magmatic processes that could eventually lead to phreatic eruptions or even precede hazardous magmatic eruption,” Phivolcs said in a statement.
Additionally, as of May 9, 2023, the lava dome has increased in volume by about 83,000 cubic meters since Feb. 3, 2023, and a total of 164,000 cubic meters since August 2022. Phivolcs urged the public to be vigilant and avoid going near the six-kilometer-radius permanent danger zone to minimize risks from sudden explosions, rockfall, and landslides.
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines on Monday issued a notice to airmen advising them to avoid flying near Mayon and Taal volcanoes. Since 10:30 p.m. Saturday, the visible upwelling of volcanic fluids in the Main Crater Lake produced voluminous steam-rich plumes that rose to 3,000 meters above Taal Volcano Island.
