The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) reported stable activity for four active volcanoes: Taal, Mayon, Bulusan, and Kanlaon. All four volcanoes remain under Alert Level 1, indicating an awakened state but a low likelihood of eruption.
During the 24-hour observation period, from June 23 to June 24, there were minimal volcanic tremors, with each volcano recording between one and three earthquakes.
Volcano Breakdown:
- Taal Volcano: Continued to emit a 2,800-meter ash plume with a high volume of sulfur dioxide gas drifting southwest. Restrictions remain in place, prohibiting entry into the Taal Volcano Island Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ), specifically the Main Crater Lake and Daang Kastila fissures. Boating on Taal Lake and flying close to the volcano are strictly prohibited.
- Mayon Volcano: Emitted moderate amounts of sulfur dioxide gas drifting west-southwest and north-northeast. The 6-kilometer radius PDZ remains in effect, restricting entry and activities.
- Bulusan Volcano: Emitted moderate sulfur dioxide gas plumes drifting northwest. Entry into the 4-kilometer radius PDZ is prohibited.
- Kanlaon Volcano: Emitted moderate sulfur dioxide gas drifting southwest. Similar to Bulusan, a 4-kilometer radius PDZ remains in effect.
Continuing Precautions:
PHIVOLCS reminds residents near these volcanoes of the ongoing dangers, including sudden phreatic eruptions, rockfalls, and lahars during heavy rains. Local authorities are advised to monitor the situation and closely disseminate community updates.
