Thousands of people have evacuated regions surrounding the Mayon Volcano in the Philippines as the mountain continues to spew lava and show increasing signs of unrest. The volcano's activity has led officials to raise the alert level to Alert Level 3, and numerous earthquakes have been reported. Scientists have noted a sharp increase in rockfall events and pyroclastic flows from the volcano's lava dome. A nearly 4-mile radius around the volcano has been declared a Permanent Danger Zone, forcing thousands of people to flee their homes.
