Several hundred people were moved to temporary shelters or left for other safe areas, he said, adding that a power blackout hampered the evacuation. Despite an increase in activity since Wednesday, Semeru’s alert status had remained at the third highest of four levels since it began erupting last year, and Indonesia’s Volcanology Centre for Geological Hazard Mitigation did not raise it this week, Lelono said.
Entire houses in the village were damaged by volcanic debris and more than 900 people fled to temporary government shelters, Muhari said. But some residents who fled to a government shelter near Lumajang district’s head office said authorities did not convey any information to them about the volcano’s activities.
