Summary

Mayon Volcano in Albay, Philippines, experienced a moderately explosive eruption on October 30, 2026, lasting nearly six minutes. An ash plume rose 3,000 meters above the crater, with a subsequent ash column reaching 200 meters on October 31. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology raised the alert level to 3, indicating increased tendency towards a hazardous eruption. Authorities ordered mandatory evacuation of residents within the six-kilometer permanent danger zone; over 2,000 individuals were displaced across multiple towns and cities. The provincial government suspended afternoon classes in 785 public and private schools, with 48 schools located within the six to eight-kilometer radius danger zone. Officials warned of risks from pyroclastic density currents, lava flows, and rockfalls, and advised the public to protect respiratory health from ashfall. A no-fly zone was established above the volcano. No deaths or injuries have been reported.
