Indonesia - Volcanic Eruption, update
- The activity of the Ruang volcano, located on Ruang Island (part of Sangihe Islands, North Sulawesi Province), is still ongoing. Between 16 and 17 April three main explosive events occurred and the ash column reached up to 3 km above the summit of the crater.
- According to the National Agency for Disaster Countermeasure (BNPB), 828 people (506 residents of Laingpatehi Village and 322 residents of Pumpente Village in Sitaro Regency) remain displaced.
- Local authorities are coordinating the emergency response and providing assistance in the form of 123 mats, 123 blankets and 400 masks to the community.
- The Multiplatform Application for Geohazard Mitigation and Assessment (MAGMA) has raised the alert level to IV (the maximum level).
- People who live in the Tagulandang Island area (located 1 km north-east of Ruang Island) and are within a radius of 6 km, especially those living close to the coast, should be immediately evacuated to a safe place. This is due to the potential incandescent rock ejection, pyroclastic flow, and tsunami waves that can be triggered by the collapse of the volcano.
