It resulted in the suspension of school classes and work and suspended local flights in the area above as the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (DOST-PHIVOLCS) issued Alert Level 4 on the afternoon of 12 January 2020. The scenario indicated “possible hazardous explosive eruption within hours to days."
