The Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) appealed to be aware of the potential tsunami from the eruption activity of the inhabitants of Mount Ruang in Sitaro Islands Regency, North Sulawesi. The appeal is for the community around the Mount Ruang area. "Until now, we have not removed the potential for a tsunami to occur due to the collapse or entry of Mount Ruang material into the sea," said PVMBG Intermediate Earth Investigator Hetty Triastuty in a press conference monitored in Jakarta, Tuesday, April 30, confiscated by Antara. Hetty said that the tsunami warning had also been issued by PVMBG when Mount Ruang rose to its post-paroxymal eruption status on April 17, 2024. When the activity level decreased to alert level on April 22, 2024, PVMBG lifted the tsunami hazard warning. "Previously, our alert level time had disappeared - tsunami warning-, but last night when we increased that activity was re-installed," said Hetty.

In the alert status which is now embedded in Mount Ruang, PVMBG recommends residents not to enter a radius of seven kilometers from the center of the active crater of Mount Ruang. Residents who live in the Tagulandang Island area that are included in the recommended distance should be immediately evacuated to a safe place outside the seven-kilometer radius. The main danger of the current eruption of Mount Ruang is hot clouds and lava flows that can hit the entire island.
Meanwhile, the danger to adjacent islands can be in the form of falling volcanic, lapili, and ash bombs which may still be hot. "Limited lava light on the Island of Space only," said Hetty.
