Better to be ready than sorry. Although Mt. Kanlaon has calmed down after a short but strong eruption on Monday, local governments on Negros Island were not letting their guards down. More evacuation centers were being readied for a spillover of people from the towns and cities affected by the volcano’s eruption amid a warning from the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology

PHIVOLCS said on December 11, 2024 that it is yet too early to raise to 4 the alert level at Kanlaon Volcano but it is doing “worst case scenario planning.”
