Possible evacuation around Taal as Alert Level 2 raised disaster execs By JOVILAND RITA, GMA News
Published March 9, 2021 2:04pm The Batangas Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) is preparing for the possible evacuation of residents living around the Taal Volcano after Alert Level 2 was raised on Tuesday. Batangas PDRRMO head Lito Castro told GMA News Online that the volcano island remains the only threatened area so far. “Ang isa pa ho nyan, ‘yung preparedness natin kung saka-sakaling magkakaroon ng evacuation. Sa ngayon, wala namang advice na i-evacuate ang nasa mainland, kundi kung saka-sakaling magkakaroon,” he added. According to Castro, municipal governments of some concerned areas have banned their residents from entering the Taal Lake. In some areas, the window hours for fishers to go to the lake have been reduced.
