The upgrade to Alert Level 3 (magmatic unrest) signifies that a “magmatic eruption has begun that may progress to further explosive eruptions,” according to Phivolcs.
What Does Alert Level 3 Mean?
Alert Level 3 indicates a heightened state of volcanic unrest and signifies an increased risk of hazardous events. Residents and tourists near the volcano are advised to exercise extreme caution and heed all warnings and advisories issued by Phivolcs.
