The world-famous “perfect cone” shape Mayon Volcano has been showing abnormal activity recently; causing apprehension to the people who lives nearby.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) has even recorded rockfall incidents in the 8,077-foot high active volcano.
Mayon Volcano is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire and as such, it is regularly monitored by PHIVOLCS.
Phivolcs science and research analyst Alex Baloloy disclosed that they have warned the public to avoid conducting activities within the six-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) owing to the deflationary changes.
The seismic network reportedly first recorded two volcanic earthquakes last Saturday, June 7; aside from the moderate emission of white steam plumes from the crater of Mayon.
In the event that Mayon Volcano erupts, the governor of Albay, Joey Sarte Salceda, has given his constituents the assurance on Tuesday that preparations in the province are being done as counter-measures.
Governor Salceda apparently disclosed in a press briefing that a new sanitary engineer has been hired to attend to evacuation centers and to focus on the readiness of the various centers in the event that their province’s pride, the Mayon, become a threat to public safety.
The governor expressed that water and sanitation in evacuation centers could be the problem in any eventuality.
To date, Mayon’s alert status remains at Alert Level 1, which means that it is still in abnormal condition.
