PUERTO VALLARTA (PVDN) - Following a recent decrease in activity, the National Coordinator of Civil Protection, Laura Velázquez, has announced the lowering of the alert level for the Popocatépetl volcano to Yellow Phase 2.
The Scientific Advisory Committee (CCA) convened for an extraordinary session to evaluate the situation before deciding to downgrade the alert status. "We have witnessed a reduction in the volcano's overall activity and the intensity of its emissions. Given these circumstances, the CCA recommends moving the Volcanic Alert Traffic Light from Yellow Phase 3 to Yellow Phase 2," said Velázquez.
