PHIVOLCS Update for Mayon Volcano, 29 January 2018.

PUBLIC ADVISORY: Notice of raising Mayon Volcano’s status from Alert Level 3 to Alert Level 4 as of January 22, 2018.

PHIVOLCS: MAYON VOLCANO BULLETIN 29 January 2018 8:00 A.M.

PHIVOLCS has raised the alert level to Alert Level 4  in effect over Mayon Volcano. The public is strongly advised to be vigilant and desist from entering the eight (8) kilometer-radius danger zone, and to be additionally vigilant against pyroclastic density currents, lahars and sediment-laden stream flows along channels draining the edifice.

SUMMARY | 

Between 05:36 AM yesterday to 07:47 PM last night, four (4) episodes of sporadic lava fountaining from the summit crater lasting thirty-six (36) minutes to fifty-seven (57) minutes occurred. The events fed lava flows on the Mi-isi and Bonga Gullies, sprayed near-vent lava spatter, and fed rockfall on the summit area. The lava fountaining events were succeeded by lava effusion in the early morning that fed new lava flow on the Bonga and Miisi Gullies. Heavy rainfall that lasted until the early morning generated channel confined lahars on the Binaan Channel and sediment-laden streamflows in channels draining the volcano edifice due to the remobilization of deposits of pyroclastic density currents or PDCs on the watershed areas.

A total of forty-one (41) volcanic earthquakes, six (6) tremor events, four (4) of which correspond to the lava fountaining events, and sixteen (16) rockfall events were recorded by Mayon's seismic monitoring network. Rockfall events were generated by the collapsing lava front and margins of the advancing lava flow on the Bonga and Miisi Gullies. Currently, the Miisi and Bonga lava flows have maintained their advance to three (3) and 1.8 kilometers, respectively, from the summit crater.
