PHIVOLCS said Alert Level 1 (low-level unrest) remains in effect over Bulusan Volcano, and that another phreatic eruption remains possible.
"Local government units and the public are reminded that entry into the 4-kilometer radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) must be strictly prohibited, and that vigilance in the 2-kilometer Extended Danger Zone (EDZ) on the southeast sector must be exercised due to the possible impacts of volcanic hazards such as pyroclastic density currents (PDCs), ballistic projectiles, rockfall, avalanches, ashfall, and others," PHIVOLCS warned.
"Communities affected by ashfall must take all necessary precautions and use protective masks or wet cloth to prevent ash inhalation, with special attention given to vulnerable individuals including the elderly, persons with respiratory or cardiovascular diseases, pregnant women, and infants," it added.
