Disaster Situation

Mayon Volcano continuously erupts spewing lava flows that reached approximately 5km downslope. Mayon began to erupt early part of December and we expect this activity to continue for several weeks as per Mayon historical eruption. Congealed lava continue to change the crater morphology and may have some implicatios on succeeding eruptions, and we need to monitor these changes. A bigger explosive eruption is expected. Massive evacuation is on-going
