Despite being inside the 14-kilometer danger zone, parts of Tagaytay will not be facing direct hazards of a possible volcanic eruption, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said.

PHIVOLCS Director Usec. Renato Solidum explains the maintained Alert Level 4 of Taal volcano by stating that a hazardous eruption may still occur “within hours to days.” He also said that magma is still rising within Taal, as indicated by persistent volcanic earthquakes in the vicinity.

“Ang mga lugar na ini-rekomenda natin for a total evacuation ay ang Taal Volcano Island at high-risk areas na nakalagay sa mapa na nasa loob ng 14-kilometer radius mula sa Taal Main Crater at along sa Pansipit River Valley,” he said. However, Solidum pointed out that those in the elevated areas are still vulnerable to ash fall, which is dangerous to the health.Alert Level 4 remains in effect over Taal Volcano almost a week after it erupted on Sunday , which means a hazardous explosive eruption is still possible within hours to days.

Among these hazards, Phivolcs said, is the base surge, which is a turbulent mass of volcanic ash, rocks, and hot gases that laterally flows away from the base of an eruption column at very high speeds.
