06/05/2023 (Philippines) - Confirm flights if a large eruption occurs. Heed evacuation orders and the advice of local authorities. Prepare for localized traffic disruptions if operating near the volcano over the coming days. Do not check out of accommodation until onward travel is confirmed. Seek updated information on road conditions before driving; due to reduced visibility, drive cautiously in areas affected by ash. Carry facemasks and observe other precautions to avoid ash inhalation if operating in the affected area. Ash may cause respiratory irritation; individuals who suffer from pre-existing respiratory problems should carry adequate medication. Drink only bottled water as sulfur in the volcanic ash may contaminate local drinking water.
