Description
On 03 June 2024 at 6:51 PM, an explosive eruption occurred at the summit vent of Kanlaon Volcano. The eruption
produced a voluminous and incandescent plume that rapidly rose to 5,000 meters above the vent and probable short
pyroclastic density currents or PDCs approximately 2 to 3 kilometers down the southern and southeastern slopes based
on IP and thermal camera monitors. The eruption lasted six (6) minutes based on the seismic record and was preceded
by a relatively strong volcano-tectonic earthquake. Reports of coarse ashfall and sulfurous odors have been reported in
communities on the western slopes of the volcano. As of present, only two weak volcanic earthquakes have been
recorded. Kanlaon has been exhibiting above background earthquake activity for the past month and has been degassing
relatively anomalous S02 that has averaged approximately 1,273 tonnes/day for the year.
In view thereof, DOST-PHIVOLCS raised the Alert Level of Kanlaon Volcano from Alert Level 1 (abnormal) to Alert Level
2 (increasing unrest). This means that there is current unrest driven by shallow magmatic processes that could eventually
lead to further explosive eruptions or even precede hazardous magmatic eruptions.

Relevant Disasters
The ASEAN Disaster Information Network (ADINet) is a repository of information concerning hazards and disasters that have happened in the region. The platform is open for public, which means that the public can submit information about any hazard and disaster to the AHA Centre. Thereafter, the AHA Centre will verify and validate any submitted information to ensure the accuracy of the data inputs. The AHA Centre can also add new information when relevant and as necessary. ADINet has been recording disaster information in the region since the AHA Centre was operational in 2012.
