LALO pang tumaas ang seismic activity ng bulkang Mayo sa Albay dahilan para abisuhan ng Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) ang mga nasa pito hanggang walong-kilometrong radius ng danger zone na maghanda.
“Since alert level was raised over Mayon Volcano on June 8, 2023, eruptive activity has been dominated by weak aseismic effusion and degassed lava from the summit crater. However, an increasing number of weak and shallow volcanic earthquakes began on June 24, 2023, and steadily increased to 102 volcanic earthquakes during a 24-hour between June 25 and June 26, 2023,” sabi ng Phivolcs.
Idinagdag ng Phivolcs na sa pagitan ng alas-5 hanggang alas-3 ng hapon nitong Lunes, may karagdagang 100 volcanic earthquakes ang naitala.
“A sudden change in monitoring parameters has been detected and is being closely monitored. It is strongly recommended that the areas inside the six-kilometer-radius permanent danger zone must remain evacuated and that communities within the seven-and-eight kilometer radius must always be prepared,” ayon pa sa Phivolcs.
