Indonesia’s Marapi volcano erupts again, a month after deadly incident
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: futurism
AGAM, Indonesia, Jan 14 (Reuters) — Indonesia’s Marapi volcano erupted on Sunday, with ash rising 1,300 metres (4,300 feet) from the peak six weeks month after a fatal eruption, according to the country’s geological agency.
The volcano in West Sumatra province erupted at least twice by 337 GMT on Sunday, the agency said, urging the evacuation of people within 4.5 km (2.8 miles) of the centre of the eruption, with the possibility of lava flows in rivers and valleys.
“In case there’s a rain of ash, we urge residents to also use masks in order to prevent respiratory illness,” the agency said.
