The agency also advised residents to refrain from any activities within potential hazard areas and to remain vigilant for lahar flows and pyroclastic surges, especially during rain. Additionally, residents should prepare for disruptions caused by volcanic ash. BPPTKG emphasized that any significant changes in Merapi’s activity level would prompt an immediate reassessment of the volcano’s status.

BPPTKG continues to monitor the situation closely and urges the public to follow their warnings and recommendations to ensure safety. (Uki Ruknuddin)
