Residents in villages near the foot of Mt. Kanlaon in Negros Occidental have been advised to wear masks as protection from the continuing ash emissions. On Tuesday, the Murcia Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office confirmed that ashfall is also being felt in the town’s Barangay Minoyan. “Residents may use face masks now. Ashfall has been reported in your area due to Kanlaon volcano activity,” the MDRRMO said in an advisory. Alert Level 2 or increased unrest prevails over Mt.
On Monday, the volcano’s sulfur dioxide flux totaled 3,579 tonnes in a day while its plume reached 600 meters, which is categorized as moderate amid continuous degassing with occasional ash emission. Last Saturday, the ash emission, which persisted for an hour and 16 minutes, generated light-gray plumes that rose 750 meters above the crater. After the event, traces of ash were reported and sulfurous fumes were experienced in Barangay Yubo, La Carlota City, and Barangay Sag-ang, La Castellana.
