Mount Kanlaon Erupts, Evacuates 87,000 Residents
Mount Kanlaon in the Philippines erupted on December 9, 2024, sending ash plumes 22,000 feet into the atmosphere and prompting the evacuation of over 87,000 residents from surrounding areas, particularly in La Castellana. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) raised the alert level to 3, indicating an increased risk of hazardous eruptions. Ashfall obscured visibility and caused the cancellation of at least six domestic flights, with additional concerns over respiratory health risks associated with volcanic ash. Emergency response teams are actively evacuating residents from the 6km danger zone, and schools in the region have been closed. Authorities are monitoring air quality for potential toxic gas contamination, with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. pledging support for displaced families. This eruption marks the second incident of volcanic activity this year, heightening fears of further explosive eruptions.
