The seismic activity remains like pasts days and movements of fluids (gases) and magma have been registered. No rain falls have been registered in the sector. Recommendations Take a moment with your family to elaborate a family emergency plan. Between all of you locate temporary shelters, evacuation routes, safe zones in your community, and animal shelters. If you need information about your area of residence locate the representatives of risk management in the municipalities. The most important thing is not follow false rumors. Remember that the official spokesman is the Ministry of Security Coordination, which works together with the Geophysics Institute—a scientific and technical institution who continuously monitors the volcano.
