Phivolcs Director Renato Solidum: Ang nangyari kaninang umaga ay tinatawag nating phreatomagmatic eruption kung saan ang magma pumunta sa mas mababaw na parte ng Taal at kapag ito ay nadampihan ng tubig ay nagkakaroon ng pagsabog
Solidum: Itong nangyari kaninang umaga napangunahan ng isang maikling phreatomagmatic burst or explosion kahapon ng madaling araw, pagkatapos sumunod ng 7:20am at nangyari tuloy-tuloy from 7:33am to 8:59am
Solidum: Itong pagbuga ng mga usok at gas at may kasamang abo ay posible pang mangyari dahil nasa mas mababaw na parte ang magma
Solidum: Wala tayong nakikitang mga parametro na magsasabi kasing tulad o kasing lakas ng January 2020 eruption ang mga initial activity sa kasalukuyan eruption ng Taal Volcano
Solidum: Ang binabantayan namin, dahil may nakikita kaming deep magma, 5-7km below the crater, ay kung ito ay aakyat dahil may dalang mas maraming gas, ay kung mabilis ang pag-akyat, yan ay posibleng magdulot ng mas malakas na pagsabog
Solidum: Ang pagsabog ng Taal at pagbuga ng sulfur dioxide gas ay makakasama physically sa kalusugan kaya ang rekomendasyon namin na mask ay N95. Dahil may COVID tayo ay kailangan talagang magsuot ng mask
Solidum: Itong mga nag-aalaga ng mga isda, ay magkakaroon ng window hours para mapakain ang kanilang mga alagang isda pero hindi pwede mamalagi sa volcano island
Solidum: Pagdating sa nais pumuntang Tagaytay at ilang bayan ng Batangas wala naman pong restriction importante lang may dalang masks. Kung sakaling may ashfall event, pumasok sa building o bahay, saraduhin ang bintana, at mamalagi dito until dumaan ang pagbagsak ng abo
Solidum: Sa kasalukuyan, hindi makapal ang abong bumabagsak at mainly sa volcano island lang bumabagsak
