PROVINCIAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT COUNCIL Provincial Disaster Operation Center Province of Albay October 18, 2014 DR. RENATO U. SOLIDUM Director Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology C.P. Garcia, Diliman Quezon City Dear Dir. Solidum: The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council of Albay is now on the 34th day of response activity due to the abnormality being manifested by the Mayon Volcano wherein we are maintaining 12,733 families or 54,778 persons coming from the 6km radius PDZ and the 7km EDZ at the Southeast Quadrant of the volcano in 46 evacuation camps. This figure includes those who came from outside of the danger zone due to fear or trauma suffered by them during the past eruptions hence we have no choice but to accommodate them inside the evacuation centers. In order for us to be assured that they refrain from going back to their respective houses we have established chokepoints and foot patrols at the strategic locations around the volcano to serve as deterrent to those who still insist in returning back. However, the primarily problem arising during apprehension the lack of permanent marker delineating the danger zone hence creating arguments during apprehension. In view of this, may we formally request technical assistance from you to support us in the identification of the 6km radius PDZ, 7km EDZ and 8km EHRZ in order to set up permanent markers by our Provincial Engineering’s Office. We will be coordinating with your Mayon Volcano Resident Volcanologist regarding this request. Thank you. Very truly yours, JOEY SARTE SALCEDA Governor & PDRRMC Chairman
