Several communities near Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Island are advised to prepare for possible lahars due to heavy rainfall from Tropical Storm Nokaen, locally named Ada, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS).
In an 11:00 a.m. advisory, PHIVOLCS said the forecasted rains from Ada may trigger lahars and muddy run-off in rivers and drainage areas around the volcano.
“Prolonged heavy rainfall could generate life-threatening lahars and sediment-laden streamflows on major channels draining the southern, western, and eastern slopes of Kanlaon Volcano,” PHIVOLCS said.
