In the last 24 hours the monitoring system detected 4 exhalations accompanied by steam and gas emission and sometimes with small amounts of ash.
At the moment of this report a small steam and gas emission is observed (see image).
From high to low probability the expected activity scenarios in the next hours, days or weeks are: moderate exhalations, some with ash emissions; occasionally mild incandescence during nights and sporadic low level explosions with low probabilities of incandescent fragment at short distance to the crater.
There is a permanent monitoring of the volcano to detect any change. The traffic light of volcanic alert remains in YELLOW Phase 2.
Recommendations:
1. Access is restricted in a radius of 12 km from the crater. For this reason the permanence in this area is not allowed.
2. The road between Santiago Xalitzintla (Puebla) and San Pedro Nexapa (Mexico State), including Paso de Cortes, is open only to controlled traffic.
3. To the authorities of Civil Protection, to maintain preventive procedures, according to operative plans.
4. To the population, to be aware of the official information emmited.
