112 Albay villages under threat of lahar flow

LEGAZPI CITY: The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said about 112 villages around Mayon volcano are under threat from lahar flow even as the Philippine Institute of Volcanoloy and Seismology (Phivolcs) had already lowered its alert level to No.3 last week.

Lahar flow is feared during heavy rainfall as Phivolcs reported that in the two months of Mayon’s eruption activity about 65 cubic meters of ejected debris have been accumulated.
