As Taal’s alert levert increases, our favorite tourist town calls for our continuous help

Get updates on Taal Volcano activity with the TaALERT app

As the Taal Volcano network continues to record low frequency earthquakes, Alert Level 2 has been raised by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PhiVolcs). While no imminent danger is in sight, residents of the well-loved tourist destination are on high alert, following last year’s eruption that resulted in massive emergency evacuations. 

Because most of us are still staying at home because of the pandemic, we are stuck reminiscing about road trips and vacations that we used to do, frequenting Tagaytay to catch a glimpse of the volcano. Now more than ever, it is important that we remain alert on any volcanic activity to make sure that the residents are safe, and the place remains safe from any disasters.
