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 />
