Mayon

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology reports that Mayon Volcano's edifice is still showing signs of short-term inflation.

It says that as of Wednesday, it has recocrded ten volcanic earthquakes, including four tremors that both lasted for one to 11 minutes. There was also slow effusion of lava flow from the cater to lengths of 3.4 kilometers, 2.8 km and 1.1 km along Bonga, Mi-isi, and Basud Gullies, respectively, and lava collapse up to 4 km from the crater.

As of 5 a.m., it records 37 volcanic earthquakes including 32 volcanic tremors (2-25 minutes long,  113 Rockfall events + 2 Pyroclastic Density Current events.

Japan Embassy says that it will turn over 300 metric tons of rice from Japan to the families affected by Mt. Mayon Eruption on August 17.

The initiative is under the framework of the ASEAN Plus Three Emergency Rice Reserve (APTERR).

The turnover ceremony will be held at Camalig, Albay, led by Mr. NIHEI Daisuke, Economic Affairs Minister of the Embassy of Japan.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) latest report as of 10 August says that there are 9,876 families or about 38,961 persons from 26 barangays were seriously affected by the eruption. About 5,371 families are still reportedly staying in 27 evacuation centers, while 418 families are seeking shelters outside of the evacuation center.

The state seismologists also record 119 volcanic earthquakes + 73 Rockfall events +1 Ashing event that lasted 17 seconds.

State volcanologists say they observed increased activity at Mayon Volcano from 3:47 p.m. of Monday, July 3 until Tuesday.

Phivolcs, in an advisory, says it recorded “a continuous tremor-like series of weak volcanic earthquakes that steadied and increased in strength this morning and persists to the present.”

These events last 11 seconds and recur at intervals of five seconds, and have resulted in “abrupt and sustained increase in the level of seismic energy release.”

Alert Level 3 remains hoisted over Mayon Volcano, latest Phivolcs bulletin shows.

In the past 24 hours as of 5:00 a.m., July 3, state volcanologists have observed very slow effusion of lava flow from the crater to 2.7 km and 1.3 km along Mi-isi and Bonga Gullies, respectively.

Lava collapse on both gullies were seen within 3.3 km and 4km, along Basud Gully, it adds.

Phivolcs also logged three volcanic earthquakes, 295 rockfall events, two dome-collapse pyroclastic density current events and two lava front collapse PDC events,

The Department of Health-Bicol Center for Health Development says close contacts of the confirmed COVID-19 case in the evacuation center in Daraga, Albay have been quarantined as of Tuesday, and have undergone swab test.

It urges the public, including those inside evacuation centers, to wear face masks in crowded and closed spaces, and wash hands using soap and clean water or 70% alcohol-based sanitizer. It also reminds the public to observe physical distancing.

Those experiencing fever, cough, cold or sore throat are called on to consult with a health care worker in their area. — with report from News5

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology has raised the alert level of Mayon Volcano to Alert Level 3 (increased tendency towards a hazardous eruption) from Alert Level 2 (increasing unrest).

It says in a bulletin that this means that the volcano is “exhibiting magmatic eruption of a summit lava dome, with increased chances of lava flows and hazardous [pyroclastic density current] affecting the upper to middle slopes of the volcano and of potential explosive activity within weeks or even days.”

Phivolcs recommends evacuation within the 6-km radius Permanent Danger Zone, and urges increased vigilance against PDCs, lahars and sediment-laden streamflows along channels draining the edifice.

It adds that ash fall events may most likely occur on the south side of the volcano, based on prevailing wind pattern.

State volcanologists raise the alert level of Mayon Volcano to Alert Level 2 (increasing unrest) from Alert Level 1 (abnormal).

“This means that there is current unrest driven by shallow magmatic processes that could eventually lead to phreatic eruptions or even precede hazardous magmatic eruption,” the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology says.

In a bulletin, Phivolcs adds that this was after it has observed since the last week of April “an increase in rockfall from the Mayon Volcano’s summit lava dome indicating aseismic growth.”

The public has been advised to be vigilant and not enter the six kilometer-radius Permanent Danger Zone to minimize risks, while in case of ash fall, people should cover their nose and mouth with damp, clean cloth or dust mask.

Phivolcs says in a 3:00 p.m. bulletin that “daily visual and camera monitoring of the summit crater revealed a continued aseismic growth of its lava dome.”

The agency warns the public to be vigilant and desist from entering the six (6) kilometer-radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) to minimize risks from sudden explosions, rockfall and landslides.
