The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology needs additional equipment to further improve its monitoring capabilities on volcanic and seismic activities, the Department of Science and Technology said.
“Of the 24 active volcanoes, only 10 are currently being monitored, and only two of these 10 are equipped with all the required station types,” it noted. “There is, therefore, a need to increase the density of the Institute’s seismic stations to better understand future earthquake occurrences,” it added.The DOST said that Albay 2nd District Representative Joey Salceda recently filed House Bill No.
