    The province of Albay, Philippines is located on the island of Luzon and is home to the active volcano Mount Mayon. A historic eruption of Mount Mayon in 1814 was one of the deadliest on record, killing over 1,200 people and damaging much of Albay province. More recently in 2006, a typhoon exacerbated flooding and damage from an eruption of Mount Mayon, causing casualties across Albay. The province faces ongoing volcanic hazards and has established evacuation and monitoring systems to help protect residents.

    AT 8AM ON FEBRUARY 1, 1814, BEGAN THE MOST


    DEADLY RECORDED ERUPTION OF MT.MAYON, IN WHICH
    MORE THAN 1,200 PEOPLE WERE KILLED.

    • THE ERUPTION DAMAGED CAMALIG, CAGSAWA,


    BUDIAO, GUINOBATAN TOWNS AND HALF OF ALBAY
    PROVINCE.

    • THE ERUPTION OF 1814 WAS DESCRIBED AS HAVING


    PYROCLASTIC FLOWS, VOLCANIC LIGHTNING, AND
    LAHAR.
    •

    AFTER A NUMBER OF SEISMIC SHOCKS, A THICK COLUMN OF


    STONES, SAND AND ASH SHOT HIGH INTO THE AIR. THE SIDES OF THE
    MOUNTAIN WERE HIDDEN BY VEILS OF ASH, SMOKE AND VAPOUR. A
    FIERY STREAM OF LAVA DASHED DOWN THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN
    AND THE SKY DARKENED. THEN STONES BEGAN FALLING TO EARTH
    KILLING MANY PEOPLE. EVEN HOUSES OFFERED NO PROTECTION AS
    THE STONES WERE RED HOT AND SET BUILDINGS ON FIRE.

    AFTER THE ERUPTION CEASED, LARGE NUMBERS OF DEAD AND


    INJURED PEOPLE LAY EVERYWHERE. THE WHOLE TOWN OF
    CAGSAWA WAS BURIED. JUST THE TOPS OF BUILDINGS AND
    COCONUT TREES PROTRUDED FROM THE DEBRIS. THE FORMERLY
    BEAUTIFUL CULTIVATED SLOPES OF MT MAYON WERE NOW JUST
    COVERED WITH SAND AND ASH.
    • ONE PARTICULARLY SAD INCIDENT OCCURED WHEN THE
    PRIEST OF THE CHURCH IN CAGSAWA CHURCH ORDERED THE
    BELLS TO BE RUNG TO WARN THE LOCAL PEOPLE OF THE
    ERUPTION. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE TOOK REFUGE IN THE
    CHURCH, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE LAVA STREAM AND
    ACCOMPANYING ASH SURROUNDED AND COVERED THE
    CHURCH, KILLING ABOUT 200 PEOPLE INSIDE.

    TODAY THE BLACKENED REMAINS OF THE CHURCH TOWER


    AND OF THE PRIEST'S HOUSE AND CONVENT HOUSE STILL
    REMAIN TO RECALL THIS POIGNANT EVENT. THE SURVIVORS
    REBUILT THEIR CHURCH AND A NEW SETTLEMENT NEARBY AT
    DARAGA.
    • MAYON DEMONSTRATED A
    , THE LARGEST
    AND MOST VIOLENT TYPE OF
    ERUPTION, THAT PARTLY
    DESTROYED THE HISTORICAL

    THE CHURCH IS ABOUT 10 KM (6


    MILES) AWAY FROM THE
    VOLCANO.
    • PLINIAN-TYPE ERUPTIONS CAN
    PRODUCE

    MILES AWAY FROM A VOLCANO.


    THIS IS ALSO THE TYPE OF
    EXPLOSION THAT
    EXHIBITED IN ITS MOST
    DESTRUCTIVE BLAST, ONE OF
    THE WORST NATURAL
    DISASTERS IN THE COUNTRY, IN
    • ONE INCIDENT THAT CAUSED CASUALTIES WAS WHEN A TYPHOON
    OCCURRED AFTER MAYON VOLCANO EXPLODED IN 2006. A TOTAL
    OF INCLUDING THE
    PROVINCE OF ALBAY THAT YEAR. CASUALTIES WERE CAUSED BY THE
    FLOOD FROM TYPHOON REMING (INTERNATIONAL NAME DURIAN)

    • BECAUSE OF THE DISASTER IN 2006, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT OF


    ALBAY HAS
