Lahar flow threat Meanwhile, in areas near Mayon Volcano in Albay and Mount Bulusan in Sorsogon, the Philippine Institue of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) warned of possible lahar flows from old deposits, that may be triggered by heavy rainfall. Department of Science and Technology (DOST) assistant secretary Mon Liboro said that, in Albay, the following areas may be at high risk from lahar flow: Masarawak and Maninila in Guinobatan Padang in Legazpi City Lidong in Sto Domingo Mi-isi in Daraga Nabunton in Ligao City Meanhwile, in areas near Bulusan Volcano in Sorsogon, Liboro said heavy rainfall may cause the erosion of old pyroclastic deposits in the upper slopes of the volcano, triggering lahar flows in rivers, threatening downstream communities along Malunoy in Batac, Mapaso, Cadac-an, Tinampo and Cogon River in Irosin. Phivolcs reminds the public to avoid the Permanent Danger Zones of both Mayon (6km) and Bulusan volcanoes (4km). – Rappler.com Refresh this page for updates. Here are the Latest stories What is X?
