The main road hit by lahar in Barangay Biak na Bato of La Castellana, Negros Occidental , was cleared a day after rains triggered lahar flow in the village situated at the foot of Mt. Kanlaon on Wednesday. However, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology advised residents to increase vigilance for their safety. In its latest advisory, Phivolcs said “lahars can threaten communities along the middle and lower slopes with inundation, burial and wash out”.
The ashfall can also harden. The challenge is now for the DPWH to clear up the waterways. It’s possible when there is heavy rain and typhoon, it could cause flood,” he added. Phivolcs said thunderstorms early afternoon Wednesday “generated volcanic sediment flows or lahars on the southern slopes that were detected by three seismic stations of the Kanlaon Volcano Network ”. The lahars began around 1 p.m. and lasted for about 25 minutes based on the seismic record.
