MANILA, Philippines – Posibleng maranasan ang pagragasa ng lahar sa mga lugar malapit sa Bulkang Mayon sa Albay at Bulkang Kanlaon sa Negros Island kasabay ng mga pag-ulan na dala ng Tropical Depression Verbena at shear line.
“These rains could generate volcanic sediment flows or lahars, muddy streamflows or muddy run-off in rivers and drainage areas on Mayon Volcano,” saad sa abiso ng PHIVOLCS.
“DOST-PHIVOLCS thus strongly recommends increased vigilance, readiness, and if necessary, pre-emptive evacuation of communities in pre-determined zones of lahar and related hazards in the Province of Albay.”
Posibleng maganap ang life-threatening post-eruption lahars sa malalakas na pag-ulan.
Kung mangyari ay maaapektuhan ang mga komunidad malapit sa Miisi, Binaan, Mabinit, Buyuan, Anoling, Matanag, Bonga, at Basud Channels.
Apektado rin ng non-eruption lahars ang mga komunidad sa Guinobatan sa malalakas na pag-ulan sa Masarawag at Maninila Channels.
“Mayon lahars, which are characteristically strong enough to transport enormous volumes of gravel and boulders, have historically and continues to threaten communities by their force of impact, inundation, burial and wash out to sea,” ayon sa PHIVOLCS.
“DOST-PHIVOLCS strongly advises the communities and local government units of the above identified areas of risk to continually monitor the rainfall conditions and take pre-emptive response measures for their safety,” dagdag ng ahensya.
Samantala, nagbabala rin ang PHIVOLCS sa posibilidad ng lahat sa mga lugar malapit sa Bulkang Kanlaon.
“This can generate volcanic sediment flows or lahars, sediment-laden streamflows or muddy run-off and related siltation in rivers and drainage areas on Kanlaon Volcano, which is currently at Alert Level 2,” ayon sa PHIVOLCS.
“DOST-PHIVOLCS thus strongly recommends increased vigilance and readiness of communities in pre-determined zones of lahar and related hazards on this volcano.”
Maaari namang maapektuhan dito ang mga komunidad sa Bago City, La Carlota City, La Castellana, Moises Padilla at San Carlos City, Negros Occidental, at Canlaon City sa Negros Oriental partikular ang mga malapit sa sumusunod na ilog o daluyan ng tubig:
Ibid River
Cotcot River
Talaptapan River
Malaiba River
Panubigan Creek
Buhangin – Indurayan River
Najalin River
Inyawan River
Maragandang River
Panun-an Creek
Intiguiwan River
Camansi River
Maao River
Tokon-tokon River
Masulog River
Binalbagan River
Taco Creek
Linothangan River
“Kanlaon lahars, which were shown by Typhoon Tino to be strong enough to transport enormous volumes of gravel and boulders, could threaten communities by their force of impact, inundation, burial and wash out,” pahayag ng PHIVOLCS.
