The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) on Friday warned of possible lahar from Mayon Volcano amid the rains brought by Tropical Depression EgayPH.
PHIVOLCS advised communities and local government units beside these drainages to be “additionally vigilant” and to move residents to high ground in case of heavy rains.
“The incoming tropical depression is expected to bring about prolonged and heavy rainfall which may generate syn-eruption lahars along major channels draining the Mayon Volcano edifice by incorporating loose material from thick pyroclastic density current deposits and ashfall from the ongoing 2023 eruption,” it added.
Mayon lahars can threaten communities along the middle and lower slopes and downstream of Mi-isi, Bonga, and Basud channels with “inundation, burial, and wash away,” according to PHIVOLCS.as magma is at the crater and hazardous eruption within weeks or even days is possible.. In an earlier weather update, PAGASA said the areas that will be nearest to the weather disturbance are Samar and Bicol areas.
