Description

As of 11 December 2024, Kanlaon Volcano remains under Alert Level 3. <br /> ● On 09 December 2024 at 3:03PM, Alert Level 3 was raised from Alert Level 2 over <br /> the Kanlaon Volcano after an explosive eruption that occurred at the summit vent. <br /> The eruption produced a voluminous plume that rapidly rose to 3,000 meters above <br /> the vent and drifted west-southwest. Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) <br /> descended the slopes on the general southeastern edifice based on IP and thermal <br /> camera monitors. <br /> ● The raising of the Alert Level of Kanlaon Volcano from Alert Level 2 (increasing <br /> unrest) to Alert Level 3 (magmatic unrest) means that a magmatic eruption has <br /> begun and may progress to further explosive eruptions. All local government units <br /> are advised to evacuate the 6-km radius from the summit of the volcano and must <br /> be prepared for additional evacuation if activity warrants. <br /> <br /> A total of 10,993 families or 37,699 persons are affected in 23 barangays in Regions <br /> VI and VII <br /> <br /> a.
