PostHeaderIcon Mayon in heightened volcanic activity



After a display of restiveness for the last few days, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Philvocs) is thinking of raising the level of alertness against eruption to level 3. This is after the Mayon observers documented more gas emissions of 934 tons , mainly sulfur dioxide, in the last 24-hour period on Wednesday, September 16, 2009. In the previous day, they recorded 682 tons of emission compared 406 tons on Septermber 14, 2009.

The successive blowing up of gas made Albay Gov. Joey Salceda, the head of the provincial disaster coordinating council to order disaster groups and residents to be watchful of the guidelines of safety to avoid injuries and deaths in case a full eruption occurs. (Photo Credit: Norkfam) =0=
