There are indications that Pagan Volcano may erupt, warned the Emergency Management Office yesterday.<\/p>\n
EMO raised the possibility of volcanic eruption based on information from the Washington Volcano Observatory that reported low level steam and ash emissions from Pagan.<\/p>\n
EMO said Pagan residents reported a 200-foot ash cloud, with ash falling like rain.<\/p>\n
Pagan residents, however, did not feel any tremor and did not hear any explosions or rumblings. There are about 20 residents on Pagan.<\/p>\n
EMO said Pagan residents will experience sulfur-like odor and they are urged to minimize outdoor activities to prevent ailment due to the ash emission.<\/p>\n
\u201cAircraft should remain alert for possible eruptions, steam, or ash clouds and report any sightings to Air Tower Control,\u201d the agency said.<\/p>\n
The EMO and the U.S. Geological Survey are monitoring Pagan activities.<\/p>\n
Pagan Volcano last erupted in the late \u201980s, spewing out volcanic ash.<\/p>\n
Another big explosion occurred in May 2003, with increased activity beginning March 2004. [I][B](Ferdie de la Torre)[\/B][\/I]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
