TL;DR Summary

The Mayon volcano in the Philippines is expected to continue erupting for months, causing tens of thousands of villagers to face long-term displacement. The volcano is sending ash and sulfur dioxide emissions into the air, and lava is slowly pouring out of the summit crater. A Level 3 alert remains in place, and anyone living within the 6-kilometer permanent danger zone has been ordered to evacuate. More than 15,000 people have moved to emergency shelters since last week, and authorities and villagers began moving large numbers of cows and water buffalo away from the evacuation zone on Sunday.
