Since 14 January 2018, Mayon Volcano continues to show high
levels of unrest resulting from repeated hazardous eruptions that
have displaced tens of thousands of residents from the extended
danger zone. The alert level remains at ‘4’ on the government‘s
5-point scale due to
the impending danger of the volcanic activities, prohibiting
authorities from allowing the return of the evacuees.
To assist the local government’s strategic decision making, the
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS)
published updated hazard maps to help understand the risks related
to the eruption. Monsoon rains can exacerbate the danger to
residents by causing flooding, landslides and lahar (mudflows),
adding to the concerns of communities surrounding the volcano. The
hazard maps of Mayon Volcano from PHIVOLCS together with the flood
and landslide hazard maps from The Mines and Geosciences Bureau
(MGB) can help the affected municipalities mitigate and minimize
loss of lives and properties associated with this event.
