Mayon Volcano Bulletin

Mayon Volcano’s (13.2576oN, 123.6856oE) seismic activity remained nil as no volcanic earthquake or tremor was detected during the past 24 hours observation period.  Steaming activity and crater glow were not observed and sulfur dioxide emission rate was not measured due to bad weather conditions.

 

Alert Level 2 remains in effect over Mayon Volcano, which means the probability of a magmatic and hazardous eruption is now remote. PHIVOLCS, however, reminds the public not to enter the six (6) kilometer Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) and the Extended Danger Zone (EDZ), which is the area in the southeast sector up to seven (7) kilometers from the summit crater due to the continuing threat from sudden explosions, rockfalls from the upper slopes and secondary pyroclastic flows arising from the collapsed of newly deposited lavas at the upper and middle slopes.
