The restive Mayon Volcano has so far emitted an estimated 7 million cubic meters of volcanic materials that could be mobilized as lahar during heavy rainfall, the Phivolcs warned on Sunday. | MaAprilMierINQ /PDI
“If we compare it to the previous eruptions, this is not yet voluminous because most of the emitted materials were lava flow. But since other materials were loose, it can possibly be mobilized by rainwater compared to the old deposits that were also solidified,” Laud said in a phone interview on Sunday.
“In terms of intensity, sometimes it’s heavy but the duration is not that significant, usually maximum of two hours or sometimes 30 minutes to one hour with lightning and thunder,” Bordales said in a phone interview on Sunday. “The other gullies might have been full, so it was redirected to [the] other gully,” Alanis said in a phone interview on Sunday.
As of Sunday, 908 families or 3,192 people were evacuated from the villages of Sua, Quirangay, Tumpa and Anoling, areas inside the 6-km-radius permanent danger zone of the volcano. “We are already prepared, and they were already given instructions, like if the volcano erupts, they know the village where to evacuate,” Maravillas said in a private message on Sunday.
