Mayon evacuees return home

After the recent discussion on the extended kilometer danger zone around Mt. Mayon, the Albay Public Safety and Emergency Management Office has decided to decamp the evacuees from their temporary shelters.

Evacuees residing within the extended 7-8 kilometer danger zone are now permitted to go home. However, those who are located within the 6-kilometer permanent danger zone shall remain in the evacuation centers.

Parts of Daraga, Sto. Domingo, Guinobatan, and Ligao that are located outside the permanent danger zone were already identified and local government units have already began the decampment procedure.
