The alert level at Taal Volcano has deescalated from 2 (decreased unrest) to 1 (low-level unrest), the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said Monday.
The alert level at Taal Volcano has deescalated from 2 to 1 , the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said Monday.
“DOST-PHIVOLCS is lowering the alert status of Taal Volcano from Alert Level 2 to Alert Level 1 to reflect the overall decrease in the level of monitoring parameters. Alert Level 1 means that the volcano is still in abnormal condition and should not be interpreted that unrest has ceased or that the threat of an eruption has disappeared,” it said.
Taal Volcano’s sulfur dioxide also averaged at 1,214 tonnes per day between May and July 2022, with the latest emission rates falling to 237 tonnes per day. On February 2, February 10, and March 26 this year, Taal Volcano had phreatomagmatic bursts that respectively spewed 300- and 3,000-meter tall steam-rich plumes.“Since then, background hydrothermal activity in the Main Crater Lake has been quietly transpiring,” the agency said.
It said that the alert level in Taal Volcano may be raised back to 2 if there is “an uptrend or pronounced change in monitored parameters forewarn of renewed unrest.”
