I. Situation Overview
As of 29 November 2024, Kanlaon Volcano remains under Alert Level 2 indicating increasing unrest.
On 03 June 2024 at 8:00 PM, Alert Level 2 was raised for Kanlaon Volcano after a moderately explosive eruption occurred at the summit crater. Subsequent observations were recorded over the Kanlaon Volcano throughout June, July, August, and September noting heightened seismic activity, ground deformation, and elevated sulfur dioxide emissions.
The public is urged to remain vigilant and refrain from entering the four-kilometerradius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) to mitigate risks associated with volcanic hazards, including pyroclastic flows and rockfalls. In the event of ash fall, individuals should protect their respiratory health by using damp cloths or dust masks.
Civil aviation authorities are advised to instruct pilots to avoid the vicinity of the volcano due to the potential dangers posed by ash and projectiles. Additionally, communities near river systems on the southern and western slopes should take precautions in anticipation of heavy rainfall, particularly those that have previously experienced lahars or muddy flows.
