BACOLOD CITY\u2014<\/strong>\u00a0Local government units (LGUs) surrounding the Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Occidental are on watch after the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) raised the volcano\u2019s status to Alert Level 2 on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

The new alert status means moderate level of unrest, according to the Kanlaon Volcano Bulletin 15.<\/p>\n

In Bago City, the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (LDRRMO) said in its Facebook post that its contigency plan for Mt. Kanlaon is being reviewed.<\/p>\n

The pre-disaster risk assessment would be the next step, it added.<\/p>\n

Dr. Merijene Ortizo, head of LDRRMO, was also shown in a photo discussing the volcano\u2019s Alert Level 2 status with village chief HernaniAbindan of Barangay Ilijan, which is located at the foot of Mt. Kanlaon.<\/p>\n

In La Castellana, the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) reminded its residents in a Facebook post to keep safe amid the volcano\u2019s moderate level of unrest.<\/p>\n

The MDRRMO also warned the public that \u201centry to five-kilometer danger zone is strictly prohibited.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKanlaon monitoring system record increased amount of volcanic quake probably magmatic in origin could eventually lead to eruption,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

Kanlaon Volcano Bulletin 15 stated that seismic monitoring network recorded 279 deep volcanic earthquakes for the past 24 hours since Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been no visible degassing or steaming from the active vent this year, although increased unrest could possibly develop into steam-driven or phreatic eruptions at the summit,\u201d it further stated. \u201cThere is probable intrusion of magma at depth which may or may not lead to a magmatic eruption.\u201d<\/p>\n

The PHIVOLCS reminded the LGUs and the public that entry into the five-kilometer radius permanent danger zone is strictly prohibited due to the further possibilities of sudden and hazardous steam-driven or phreatic eruptions.<\/p>\n

Civil aviation authorities must also advise pilots to avoid flying close to the volcano\u2019s summit as ejecta from any sudden phreatic eruption can be hazardous to aircraft, it added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
