Kanlaon Volcano has⁤ recorded 23 volcanic‍ earthquakes in the past 24 hours, the​ Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported on Saturday,⁤ Feb.8. Of these, ⁢the agency said that 12 had ⁣sufficient data for precise ‍location.

the Phivolcs warned of⁤ potential hazards, including sudden⁤ explosive eruptions, lava⁢ flows, ashfall, pyroclastic density currents, rockfalls, and lahar flows during heavy rains.

With seismic⁣ activity persisting, the state seismology ⁢agency strongly advised against entry into the six-kilometer permanent⁢ danger zone (PDZ) surrounding Kanlaon’s summit, citing significant risks to residents and trekkers.

The agency also recommended flight restrictions ​near the ⁤volcano, cautioning that ash plumes from a possible​ eruption could pose a⁤ serious⁣ threat to aircraft.

Kanlaon, wich has erupted multiple times in ⁣recent years, remains under‍ close observation.

Phivolcs urged local governments and residents to stay vigilant⁢ and prepare for potential emergency measures.

Kanlaon Volcano activity Update

Kanlaon Volcano recorded 23 volcanic earthquakes in the past 24 hours as⁤ of 2025-02-08. The Philippine Institute ⁢of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) continues to monitor the increased seismicity, which poses critically important risks to residents and trekkers within the⁣ six-kilometer permanent danger zone (PDZ) surrounding the volcano’s summit.

Seismic activity has been on the‌ rise, ‌as reported by Phivolcs. According to ‌thier data, the volcano emitted 7,087⁤ tons of sulfur dioxide on Tuesday, which⁣ is higher​ than the⁤ average daily​ emission of 4,234 tons that has been recorded since ⁣the volcano’s latest eruption in June. Furthermore, the‌ seismic network recorded 2-32 daily volcanic‌ earthquakes from 11-17 December, indicating heightened unrest [[1](https://volcano.si.edu/showreport.cfm?doi=GVP.WVAR20241211-272020)].

From 3 p.m.Tuesday to 12 noon wednesday, Phivolcs recorded 90 volcanic earthquakes in Kanlaon, with most of ⁤these quakes being 20 ⁢kilometers deep. This increased activity signifies ⁤potential hazards such as⁣ pyroclastic density⁣ currents, rockfalls, and lahar flows during⁤ heavy ​rains [[2](https://www.philstar.com/nation/2024/11/01/2396813/kanlaon-seismic-activity-increases)][[3](https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1228204)].

Phivolcs advises‌ local governments and residents to stay ‌vigilant and prepare for any potential emergency measures.

⁣ ⁢ Kanlaon, with its rich history of eruptions, exemplifies⁤ the dynamic nature⁣ of​ volcanic activity. The seismic data collected points to⁣ a possible increase in‍ volcanic unrest. Staying informed through official updates is⁤ crucial for ​ensuring the safety of those in the affected areas.
