Evacuees in some Albay towns stay in cramped shelters as Mayon unrest continues

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.rappler.com/philippines/luzon/situation-albay-evacuation-sites-mayon-unrest-january-9-2026/

<p>ALBAY, Philippines – As <a href="https://www.rappler.com/philippines/luzon/n08262934-mayon-volcano/">Mayon Volcano</a>‘s unrest continues, an increasing number of residents are being uprooted from their homes and moved to designated evacuation sites. But in municipalities like Camalig, the “sanctuary” offered is a cramped reality: according to evacuees, as many as 13 families — roughly 35 or more individuals — are squeezed into a single classroom.</p>

<p>Amy Nabor, a resident of Barangay Anoling — a farming village situated within the six-kilometer permanent danger zone — has been staying with her family at Tagaytay Elementary School since Tuesday, January 6, when <a href="https://www.rappler.com/philippines/luzon/phivolcs-mayon-volcano-alert-level-january-6-2026/">Alert Level 3 was declared.</a></p>

<p>For Nabor, this is a recurring ordeal. She has spent her life fleeing Mayon’s eruptions; now that she has her own family, the same familiar dangers loom over a new generation.</p>

<p>“We just make do with the space provided, no matter how many members are in each family, because we have to evacuate for our safety,” she said in Filipino.</p>

<p>Nabor’s family is among the 123 families or 430 individuals sharing the limited rooms of an elementary school. (<a href="https://www.rappler.com/philippines/luzon/albay-bicol-farmers-safety-crops-mayon-volcano-ashfall-january-2026/">READ: Refuge or harvest? Albay farmers torn betwe

Refuge or harvest? Albay farmers torn between safety, saving crops amid Mayon ashfall

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.rappler.com/philippines/luzon/albay-bicol-farmers-safety-crops-mayon-volcano-ashfall-january-2026/

<p>ALBAY, Philippines—<a href="https://www.rappler.com/philippines/luzon/mayon-unrest-displaces-albay-residents/">Thousands </a>are fleeing<a href="https://www.rappler.com/philippines/luzon/n08262934-mayon-volcano/"> Mayon</a>’s 6-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ), but for Albay’s farming families, evacuation is only half the battle. Caught between the threat of volcanic eruption and the total loss of their livelihood, many are risking their lives to return to ash-covered fields to salvage what remains of their harvest.</p>

<p>Vilma Navata, 55, has tilled the soil of Barangay Anoling in Camalig, Albay, alongside her husband for decades. She shared that amid the heavy ashfall on Thursday, January 8, her husband risked a return to their fields, fearing that volcanic dust — and potential looters — would wipe out the harvest they had labored over for two months.</p>

<p>“My husband came with me to the evacuation center, but he went back to the farm earlier. He went back specifically for our crops. If no one is there, people will think the owners are gone and they’ll steal them or the ashfall would destroy all of them. We would have nothing left to harvest,” she said in Bicol. </p>

Innovative Shelter for Disaster Response

When disasters strike, providing safe and rapid shelter becomes critical. This raises the question: what if a complete home could be assembled from a simple toolkit in roughly an hour? This concept is precisely what the Japanese company TCL Co. has approached through the Ezdome project, a shelter in the form of a Geodesic Dome. #Disasterrelief #Ezdomeshelter #Geodesichousing
