Kanlaon ash, lahar, and danger-zone warnings

Kanlaon ash, lahar, and danger-zone warnings

Kanlaon Volcano reportedly remains under Alert Level 2 with ash emissions, recent volcanic earthquakes, and a four-kilometer danger zone. Heavy rain triggered muddy or lahar flows affecting La Castellana and nearby Canlaon City communities; evacuation reports of 51 and 92 residents appear to concern the same developing event. Rain-driven volcanic debris remains a hazard even when local weather appears calm.
