Local government units near Mayon Volcano are prepared in case of a sudden evacuation, and the Office of Civil Defense said it is ready in case the situation worsens, a spokesman said Wednesday.

This developed as the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology observed active degassing at the main crater of the Taal Volcano in Batangas over the past 24 hours.

“We are ensuring that there are no people at the permanent danger zones and that our preparedness measures are in place, in case the alert levels for these volcanoes rise,” he added. “Vog can be expected to persist over the Taal region while degassing activity, weak wind movement, and humid atmospheric conditions prevail,” Phivolcs said.
