On the evening of 14 January, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
(PHILVOLCS) raised Mayon Volcano’s alert level from II to III, signifying that Mayon has
increased tendency towards hazardous eruption. On the morning of 15 January 2018,
two lava collapse events occurred in the volcano, producing rockfall and small-volume
pyroclastic density currents. Ash clouds were also produced with ashfalls reported in
29 villages (barangays) in the municipalities of Camalig and Guinobatan in the
southwest of the volcano. Furthermore, on 16 January, lava flow and more rockfall
events and short pyroclastic flows were also observed. PHILVOLCS recommended that
the 6-km permanent danger zone and a 7-km extended danger zone be enforced due
to the danger of rockfalls, landslides and sudden explosions or dome collapse that may
generate hazardous volcanic flows. As a result of the heightened alert level,
precautionary evacuations have been conducted in 25 villages (barangays) in 3
municipalities and 2 cities. As of 15 January, a total of 5,318 families (21,823 people)
have been displaced, with 4,134 families (16,877) staying in 18 evacuation centres.
