3,000 people are confined in El Paso and Los Llanos for the fire of a cement factory
The weather forecast on the island "is bad" for the next three days

The direction of Pevolca (Canary Islands Volcanic Emergency Plan) has ordered this Monday the home confinement of almost 3,000 people in various areas of the municipalities of El Paso and Los Llanos de Aridane after the release of gases from the combustion of the plant fire of cement located in the industrial park of Callejón de la Gata.

This was announced at a press conference by the spokesman for the steering committee, Miguel Ángel Morcuende, who pointed out that the affected area covers approximately an area between the Tajuya crossing and the El Paso soccer field.

In addition, he has indicated that the weather forecast on the island "is bad" for the next three days since the trade wind blows with little force and the sea breeze pushes the ashes to the east, which can affect the operation of the airport .

Morcuende has commented that this confinement is adopted as a precaution and to "avoid possible health problems", and will be reviewed throughout the afternoon once the air quality in the environment of the cement factory is analyzed.

However, he has commented that it is "reasonably good" given that except at some specific moment in the last morning the particles are below the thresholds that can present a risk to health.

The spokeswoman for the scientific committee, María José Blanco, has indicated that the volcanic plume of ash and gases reaches 4,000 meters in height and although it is "unlikely" that the ash reaches the north of Tenerife and affects the operation of the Tenerife airport North, it has warned that the east of La Palma is the most affected area and therefore, there may be problems at the airport.

With data from this Sunday, the emission of sulfur dioxide remains "at high levels", with an underestimated amount of 7,652 tons per day while the Cumbre Vieja ridge in total reaches 1,884 tons of carbon dioxide, in any case, without danger for tourists or visitors.

New laundry is approaching the sea faster
The area affected by the lava already exceeds 591 hectares, 65 more than yesterday, and the maximum width of the wash is around 1,520 meters

NOTICES DIARY11/10/2021 · UPDATED 18:27


The Steering Committee of the Special Plan for Civil Protection and Attention to Emergencies due to Volcanic Risk of the Canary Islands (PEVOLCA) of the Government of the Canary Islands, headed by the Minister of Public Administrations, Justice and Security, Julio Pérez, has analyzed the daily report of the Scientific Committee that points out that the initial flows weaken while the new one, located further north, approaches the sea more quickly . The advance of this north flow has caused the fire in the cement factory of the Callejón de la Gata industrial park and the consequent release of gases by combustion of materials, which were initially estimated as possibly toxic.

The cement factory fire has forced PEVOLCA to confine circumstantially several population centers of Los Llanos de Aridane and El Paso, a situation that will be lifted as soon as the air quality parameters improve in those areas, which is expected to happen soon. . Specifically, the confinement of about 3,500 people has been declared in the space between the crossing of Camino Cruz Chica with the LP-2 highway, continuing west to the crossing with Nicolás Brito Pais, continuing this road to the ring road and through it until the Hoyas Hondas roundabout. From this point on, the entire area affected by the August fire is included up to the El Paso soccer field, including the area from the west of the LP-3 to the Sombrero roundabout.


Among the recommendations of the authorities is to close the doors, windows, blinds and all air inlets from outside; If possible, confine yourself to the innermost rooms and interrupt any system that brings in air from outside. In case of being outside, it must be taken into account that a vehicle is not a safe place and it is necessary to seek refuge in the first building that is found. No travel should be made until instructed to do so, and only use the 1-1-2 phone for emergency situations. If due to force majeure any of the confined persons must interrupt the confinement, it must be communicated to 1-1-2.

The Technical Director of PEVOLCA, Miguel Ángel Morcuende, pointed out that there are three active streams, all of them through the exclusion zone evacuated since the beginning of the eruption. In addition to the original one, which ended in the sea and created the lava delta, there is another one further south that is on the strip of the San Juan eruption in 1949 that goes towards the Charcón, and the third one, further north, with two branches. One of them is burning the cement plant and the other is advancing in the direction of the sea, above the Todoque mountain, Morcuende explained, who explained that this northern stream has a greater supply of lava, which has increased damage to crops and buildings. and obliged to take this last measure of civil protection of confinement.

In this sense, the spokesperson of the Scientific Committee and director of the IGN in the Canary Islands, María José Blanco, explained that, after the overflow of the lava lake, the main flow runs along the north flank, mainly towards the sea, going down the northern part of the previous castings, following trajectories towards the west, within the exclusion zone. He indicated that the distance from the front of this lava flow to the sea is of the order of 300 meters, so it can form another lava delta (fajana) on the beach of El Perdido, in case the current emission rate is maintained. from the eruptive center.

Likewise, he pointed out that the lava field that fed the lava delta of the beaches of Los Guirres seems to have reduced its activity, as well as the wash that runs over the fajana of the 1949 eruption in the El Charcón area.

Morcuende explained that the area affected by the lava already exceeds 591 hectares, which is 65.33 more than yesterday, with a maximum width of the wash of 1,520 meters.

In addition, he pointed out that the updated data from the cadastre on Copernicus puts the affected buildings at 753. Of these, 620 are for residential use, 70 for agricultural use, 29 for industrial use, 19 for leisure / hospitality and 7 for public use, among others.

As for the area of ​​crops, he said, it is estimated at 150 hectares affected. Of these, half are banana trees, 45 hectares are vineyards and almost 9 are avocados.

Regarding seismicity, since yesterday there has been a high number of earthquakes located slightly south of the area where the swarms that gave rise to the eruption began. "The most relevant thing is that they are at medium and high depth," he explained.

With regard to air quality, he added that except for the measure adopted at the last minute of confinement of a very localized area due to the fire that affected the cement factory, the values ​​recorded since yesterday indicate that the quality it is reasonably good, except for a very specific peak. On the suspended particles, he explained, they are below the permissible threshold.

However, Morcuende indicated that the thermal inversion layer is currently at lower levels than in recent days, which will not help the dispersion of gases.

The wind configuration disposes the ash plume and SO2 in a west-east direction from the eruptive focus. According to Blanco, the expected position of the plume will affect the operation of the La Palma Airport and he spoke that the area most affected by the ash fall is the eastern slope of the island. Although it is unlikely, the fine ash fall could reach the north of Tenerife and affect airport operations on the island, he said.

DAILY OPINION OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE
Before the meeting of the PEVOLCA Steering Committee, the Scientific Committee of the Plan met in which its members presented their conclusions on the evolution of the eruptive phenomenon since yesterday. This Scientific Committee is coordinated by the General Directorate of Security and Emergencies of the Government of the Canary Islands and is made up of representatives of the National Geographic Institute (IGN), Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), the Canary Islands Volcanological Institute (Involcan), the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME), State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO), University of La Laguna and University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

Such conclusions were:

“The fissure eruption continues to show a strombolian mechanism (that is, a mechanism of a mixed nature, with explosive phases that produce pyroclastic deposits and effusive phases that simultaneously produce lava flows). In volcanology, the magnitude of volcanic eruptions is measured on the scale of the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) with values ​​between 0 and 8; in the case of this eruption, the VEI estimated so far is 2.

Since yesterday's overflow of the lava lake, the main flow runs along the north flank, mainly towards the sea, down the northern part of the previous flows, following trajectories towards the west, within the exclusion zone. The distance from the front of this lava flow to the sea is of the order of 300 m, so it can form another lava delta (fajana) on the beach of El Perdido, in case the current emission rate is maintained from the eruptive center. Large blocks carried by lava flow further north are still observed, although less frequently. The emission centers of the crater are still active and the appearance of new emission centers in the surroundings of the main cone, as well as other surface observables (visible gas emissions) within the exclusion zone, is not ruled out. The lava field that fed the lava delta of the beaches of Los Guirres seems to have reduced its activity. The lava flow that runs over the lava delta of 1949 in the El Charcón area, also seems to have reduced its activity.

During the eruptive process, the estimated emitted volume (up to 10/10) through the SEVIRI sensor of the HOTSAT system is 75 ± 25 Mm3

The morphology of the cone changes repeatedly due to the successive processes of growth and reconfiguration. The eruptive process can show episodes of increased and decreased strombolian activity, as well as pulses with phreatomagmatic activity.

The height of the ash and gas column measured today, as well as its dispersion, reaches 4000 m.

As the lava delta has reached the limit of the insular platform, if the advance continued to greater depths, partial collapses of its front could occur, which could be accompanied by sudden release of gases, hydromagmatic explosions and generation of waves, in the environment of the lava delta and always within the already established exclusion zone. The marine plume is severely weakened along the edge of the lava delta.

The weak wind continues at low levels, with a predominance of the breeze regime on the west slope of La Palma. The thermal inversion will remain located around 1000-1200 m and is more pronounced (approximately 3 ° C) in the early hours. These meteorological conditions have an unfavorable local effect in the areas of El Paso and Los Llanos with respect to air quality, since together with the surrounding orography, the dispersion of pollutants is prevented during the early hours and early hours of the morning. At altitude (between 1500 to 5500 m), the wind will continue from the west component and no changes are expected in the next 72 hours (at least). This wind configuration disposes the ash plume and SO2 in a west-east direction from the eruptive focus. The expected position of the plume will affect the operation of the La Palma airport and the area most affected by the ash fall is the eastern slope of the island. The fall of fine ash in the north of Tenerife and the effect on airport operations on the island is unlikely.

Seismicity continues to be located, mainly, close to the seismicity of the first days, at depths between 10 and 15 km. There are also earthquakes located at depths greater than 20 km with an increase in their number. In the last 24 hours the number of earthquakes has increased. The maximum magnitude observed was 4.3 mbLg, the maximum intensity was III-IV EMS. The current level of seismicity continues to indicate that more felt earthquakes are possible, which could cause small landslides in sloping areas. The deformations at the stations closest to the eruptive center do not show any significant pattern.

During yesterday (10/10), the emission of sulfur dioxide (SO2) associated with the volcanic plume (visible emanations) continues to register high values ​​in line with the eruptive process, reaching values ​​of 7652 tons per day (underestimated value). Likewise, the diffuse emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), associated with the 220 km2 of the Cumbre Vieja volcanic ridge (not visible emanations), has been estimated at 1884 tons per day as of 10/10. These invisible carbon dioxide (CO2) fumes do not pose any danger to residents and visitors. The diffuse CO2 emission at the Los Llanos geochemical station (LP10) reflects a higher magmatic-hydrothermal fraction than that observed at the Fuencaliente geochemical station (LP08). All these geochemical observations are consistent with the current eruptive process.

Regarding air quality, yesterday there was a peak of sulfur dioxide (SO2) during the morning at the El Paso and Los Llanos stations with maximum values ​​close to the hourly threshold (established at 350 µg / m³) but without reaching exceeding it, throughout the day the values ​​remained far from the threshold. During this morning there has been a peak of great intensity at the El Paso station with an hourly maximum at 8:00 am of 830 µg / m³ that exceeds the alert threshold (established at 500 µg / m³) but at a only occasion. At the moment the values ​​are decreasing and below the hourly threshold.

Regarding particles smaller than 10 microns (PM10), yesterday and today we continue with values ​​below the daily threshold (set at 50 µg / m³), ​​so there has not been any exceedance of said threshold at neither station.

OBLIGATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
MARINE PENACHO:

It is suggested to pay close attention to the wind forecast to monitor the possible changes in the direction of the plume and act accordingly, especially those with a weakened respiratory system (for example, asthmatics) as they are more vulnerable to lower concentrations.
Eye flushing is also recommended after any exposure, as symptoms are often not noticed until later.
These marine plumes can be seen up to several kilometers from the source, although more diluted. In the event that the marine plume reaches population centers, it is recommended to stay indoors whenever possible and close all doors and windows.
For the safety of the navigation of scientific vessels that carry out scientific work in this area, it is recommended to maintain a distance of at least 500 m. Navigation for scientific purposes for emergency management can be carried out at shorter distances, under the responsibility of the owner and the captain or skipper of the boat, as long as it has the approval of the Technical Directorate of PEVOLCA and Captaincy. Maritime.
LAVIC WASHES:

It is also recommended not to approach the lava flows due to the risk of being exposed to the gases emitted, possible landslides and high temperatures.
Given the large thicknesses of lava flow observed in some points, collapses of its face can occur which, in steeper areas, can lead to the formation of large fragments of lava flow, which can detach from the face of the wash and that sudden reaching distances of several meters from the pouring face, depending on the topography. Also in steep areas, small pyroclastic flows can occur.
FALL OF PYROCLASTS:

It is recalled that an exclusion radius of 2.5 km is established around the emission centers to minimize the risk of impact from pyroclasts and exposure to gases.
In case of intensification of the explosive activity it is possible that some violent detonations could cause breakage of the glass of the windows. It is recommended to stay away from the windows up to a radius of 5 km from the cone.
In areas affected by intense ash fall (a clear deposition on the ground is observed) and even more so if mist is observed, it is recommended to stay indoors. Outdoors, the use of FFP2 masks and eye protection systems is also recommended.
Before the arrival of ashes to other islands, it is recommended in those affected, the use of surgical masks. It is recommended to clean roofs where ash thicknesses of several centimeters accumulate. It is insisted that the procedure for removing ash from roofs and soil indicated by Civil Protection be followed precisely (moisten ash, eye protection, wear a mask, protect the skin, ..., see attached documentation). For removal, use FFP2 masks, gloves, dampen slightly for sweeping and do not use blowers under any circumstances. The use of blowers increases the resuspension of the most harmful particles to health.
For the safety of scientists on the ground within the exclusion zone, it is recommended to maintain a distance of at least 1000 m from the main emission center. The approach at shorter distances can be carried out, for scientific observation purposes for emergency management, with the approval of the PEVOLCA Technical Directorate.

Respect for the land and maritime exclusion zones remains imperative in order to maintain the physical integrity of people.

Continuous monitoring of activity has been strengthened and any significant changes observed will be reported. Stay tuned to the information provided by the corresponding Civil Protection authorities ”.

La Palma volcano enters "effusive phase"
Insatiable, this new lava flow advances on its destructive path. It reaches the town of Todoque and devours some houses that still resisted. Homes that fall apart amid the flames and within reach of a faster-flowing wash. At three hundred meters per hour, in its most fluid zone, five minutes are enough for that green house. It floods the road and buries abandoned cars. It threatensly approaches other buildings such as the school and reaches this area of ​​greenhouses burning plastics and fertilizers that cause this toxic cloud. The base of the wash is, every time, wider and its height imposes even seeing it from afar. Lava is now emerging from a smaller crater, but with the same devastating effect. The volcano emits more than 560 tons of sulfur dioxide daily, although it does not affect, at the moment, the quality of the air. The ashes that it expels exceed five thousand meters in height and in the next few hours could reach the islands of La Gomera and Tenerife carried by the wind. Meanwhile, on La Palma, the Cumbre Vieja will continue to leave an incandescent path.

The Cumbre Vieja volcano exceeds the Teneguía in duration without any signs of exhaustion
The emission of sulfur dioxide and the lava flow have increased in the last three days, so the eruptive activity remains stable

Today the Cumbre Vieja volcano is equal in duration to the Teneguía, whose eruption lasted 24 days , between October 26 and November 18, 1971. It does so without showing any sign of exhaustion. Quite the contrary, since in recent days the emission of sulfur dioxide and lava flows have increased.

“Actually, Teneguía and this volcano are quite similar. In the Canary Islands they are all more or less the same, except for Mount Teide, which has a very bad character ”, explains the retired research professor at the Higher Center for Scientific Research (CSIC), Ramón Ortiz. In any case, despite reasonable similarities, the duration of volcanic activity is unpredictable and highly variable. "It can last several months, like that of El Hierro, which did not bother because it was underwater, or it can be like Timanfaya, which lasted five years, " says the volcanologist about the duration of the historic eruptions in the Canary Islands.

Fortunately, the explosiveness of these volcanoes is limited and they give scope to protect the population, says Ortiz, although he acknowledges that the wash destroys everything in its path. Other volcanoes are much more explosive. The one who sees it, does not count it. The Krakatoa took thousands of people out of sight and the Huaynaputina, in Peru, caused deaths from hunger in Europe, “says the expert about the highly destructive Plinian eruptions.

The volcanologist Ramón Ortiz warns that the modulation of the tide can influence the reactivation of the process
In any case, the questions that everyone is asking, including the more than 6,000 people evicted by the Palmero volcano, are: how long will the eruption last? What are the signs that the activity is beginning to subside?

For the first question, there is no answer, for the second, yes. « At the end of the eruption, the typical thing happens: the decrease in the emission of gases. As long as it remains, it will go a long way, "says Ortiz.

In this sense, it should be noted that in recent days the emission of sulfur dioxide has grown . The scientific committee yesterday estimated the daily tons of SO2 emitted into the atmosphere at 7,652; on Sunday, it was 6,870 and on Saturday, 4,994. However, scientists caution that these estimates are indicative and underestimated. “ It is very difficult to know exactly how much the volcano is emitting. Gas is very difficult to quantify . It takes a lot of work, ”Ortiz points out.

The veteran volcanologist points out that the decrease in the flow of lava is also a good indicator to know when the eruptive activity will begin to subside . Something that is not happening either, according to the data of the advance of the wash that, between Sunday and yesterday, occupied 65 new hectares, the largest daily extension recorded so far, except for the first 24 hours of the eruption.

In addition, the geologist warns of the influence of the tides in the eruptive process, especially in seismicity . “The modulation of the tide can cause a more active moment. The most active phase is that of the full moon, ”says the researcher. In fact, Ortiz emphasizes that the eruption of La Palma began on September 19, just two days before the full moon.

GFZ task force at the volcanic eruption on La Palma
Josef Zens press and public relations work at the
Helmholtz Center Potsdam - German Research Center for Geosciences GFZ
Lava flow reaches the sea, numerous earthquakes shake the island - GFZ sends team to collect further data

The German GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam (GFZ) has founded a task force and sent a team to La Palma to contribute to the rapid assessment of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes on the island. Together with Spanish institutions, the researchers are investigating the interaction of the eruption with the earthquakes and surface deformations. They use measuring devices on site as well as satellite images and the infrastructure and software from GEOFON.

After fifty years of rest and a three-year seismically active phase, a new volcanic eruption began on September 13, 2021 at Cumbre Vieja on the island of La Palma. The GFZ researchers used satellite radar to determine large-scale deformations that indicate an increase in pressure at depth. The starting point of the eruption was on the central western flank of the volcanic ridge of Cumbre Vieja, not far north of the eruption of 1949. The lava flow is now 6300 meters long, sometimes over 1000 meters wide and in some places 25 meters thick, has more than 600 Houses and numerous streets destroyed. The lava reached the coast on September 28, 2021.

GFZ volcano researcher Thomas Walter says: “As we hear from our team on site, the situation there is still tense. Not only do huge ash clouds form on the eruption crater, the contact of the lava, which is over 1000 degrees Celsius, with the sea water evaporates the water and also the salt molecules it contains. These react to form sometimes poisonous and caustic gases. ”He therefore expressly warns against going in the vicinity without protective equipment. Other dangers must be expected, such as sudden steam gas explosions or the finest ash and glass particles that are transported over many kilometers by the strong wind. The newly forming delta in the sea is growing noticeably, but can unexpectedly give way and break off again.

With increasing magnitudes, the earthquakes move south again, to the center of Cumbre Vieja. The complex Events are not easy to decipher. That is why the GFZ has put together a team of experts to assess the situation using data from remote sensing and computer analyzes as well as data collected on site. Nicole Richter, Alina Shevchenko and Carla Valenzuela Malebran, researchers from the GFZ task force and the Earthquake and Volcano Physics section, set off just a few days after the eruption began. They had numerous scientific instruments such as seismometers, inclinometers, drones and thermal cameras in their luggage.

Already the trip turned out to be surprising and difficult, the airport on La Palma was closed for a short time, a detour via Tenerife followed. The GFZ researchers have now arrived on site, the first stations are online and running. This work was made possible by the collaboration within the GFZ and is closely linked to the activities of other institutes in Spain and Germany. For example, scientists from the GFZ and the Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research GEOMAR in Kiel are planning a combined measurement of Events on land (GFZ) and in the sea (GEOMAR). The first seismic data are now received at the GFZ and at the same time transmitted to the partner IGN in Spain. This makes it easier to determine the position of the increasing earthquakes. The first results are promising. They show an accumulation of earthquakes at a depth of around 12 km, far from the source of the eruption. Do they indicate a magma chamber? How are the eruptions related to the earthquakes and surface deformation? These are the questions that the volcanologists and geophysicists at the GFZ are investigating together with their Spanish and German colleagues. Thomas Walter: “It is still too early to say whether and how this eruption will develop, whether there are other eruption centers - as usual with previous eruptions on La Palma - or whether the volcano will soon be resting again. The great success of science and authorities is already now that despite the relatively large eruption and destruction it remained with property damage. " Do they indicate a magma chamber?

Background:

The Canary Islands were formed by volcanism and, in their recent geological past, showed morphological and structural changes, such as large explosions, landslides on entire island flanks, or even calderas. Seven of the eight islands (all except La Gomera) can be described as volcanically active. The islands are real giants: between one million and twenty million years old, they rise up to 3715 m above sea level. The much larger part, however, is underwater and even locally depresses the ocean crust. This means that the volcanoes of the Canary Islands often have a diameter of more than a hundred kilometers. Like the tip of an iceberg, La Palma juts out of the sea.

There are three large magma deposits under the volcano ′′
′′ The volcano has no visos of ending tomorrow or in a week ", says geologist Nieves Sanchez, who is part of the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME-CSIC). With experience on the ground in volcanoes in Guatemala and San Vincent Island, he believes the volcano is 'loading', tells the newspaper El País.
That thought is based on the earthquakes still under La Palma Island, a fact that the geologist considers key to discarding the end of the short-term eruption. He is also part of the Pevolca Scientific Committee (Volcanic Emergency Plan of the Canary Islands), where he states that ′′ the volcano has no visas of ending tomorrow or the day after or in a week ".
What does the data say
According to Sanchez, ′′ The volcano has no visos of finishing tomorrow or the day after or in a week. Activity changes a lot from day to day, the cone is built first and then destroyed. In the last few days we are rewatching deeper seismicity. This can mean a new magma input into the system. It could be reactivating, although we have to wait to confirm it with observation from outside. My opinion is that it will stay erupting for a while, we don't know how much we can't say it until earthquake patterns and terrain deformation change. In some GPS we've seen a stabilization of deformation, but not a clear drop. We depend on that new magma entry to continue or stop ".
To this data, three magma deposits are added, the deepest at 30 km, the other at 10 km and 4 km. That reservation can be moved between deposits, or go straight out. ′′ Here's what we think based on the thousands of earthquakes recorded at different depths from 2017 to now and the type of lava that's coming out ".

New flows increase the destruction of the volcano
Since last Saturday the north face of the Cumbre Vieja volcanic cone collapsed, in La Palma, the effusive and eruptive activity of the volcano has increased, and that greater contribution of lava and the great fluidity of the flows have raised the affected area to 595 hectares, four more than this Monday.


According to the report published this Tuesday by the Government's Department of Homeland Security (DSN), the most active wash is currently the one located further north.

While one of its branches advances towards the sea (300 meters), the other originated this Monday the combustion of hydrocarbons as it passed through a cement factory , which forced the confinement of some 3,500 people in areas of El Paso and Los Llanos de Aridane.

In addition, access by Tazacorte to the evacuated areas was prohibited until the evolution of the volcanic emergency north of the Todoque mountain is studied.

According to the emergency center 112 of the Canary Islands, the confinement will be maintained until new valuation this Tuesday due to the advance of a wash in the Callejón de la Gata industrial zone , which could affect more warehouses and cause new combustion and gas emanations that could be dangerous.

In any case, according to the DSN report , all the washes move through the evacuated exclusion zone.

Along with the sulfur dioxide cloud, there is a significant amount of volcanic ash that moves in an easterly direction due to high winds, although the dioxide values ​​are below the risk threshold.

Seismicity also continues and in the last hours an Earthquake of magnitude 4.1 has been registered and whose center was at a depth of 13 kilometers.

For their part, the Canarian airports are operational , although the airlines are canceling flights to La Palma.

This Monday the mixed commission between administrations met to coordinate the reconstruction plan of La Palma, where the last part of the damage was as follows: 591 hectares covered by lava, 1,520 meters of maximum width of the wash, 753 buildings destroyed ( 620 of them are homes) and 150 hectares of cultivation under the magma.

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has scheduled a new visit to La Palma for this Wednesday, which will be the fourth.

Sánchez will present new measures to support the sectors affected by the eruption on the island, charged to the 206 million euros approved by the Council of Ministers, and will participate in the meeting of the steering committee of the Special Plan of Civil Protection against Volcanic Risk of Canary (Pevolca).

The spokespersons for the Scientific Committee have appeared before the media to report on the evolution of the volcanic eruption on La Palma.

The main flow runs through the skinny north and follows east and west trajectories, it is 200 meters from the sea with very slow progress and drags large blocks, and new sources of emission are not ruled out. Scientific spokesman Miguel Ángel Morcuende explained that 237 people are sheltered, the same as yesterday, and there is no variation in damage to buildings.

In total there are 169, 44 hectares destroyed by crops, of which 90 are banana trees, 9 avocado trees, 48 ​​vineyards and 21 of other crops.

Seismicity is still high, but they are at medium and high depth between 10 and 15 kilometers, it is not a symptom of probability of a new emitting center and with low probability of this variable.

Regarding the flows, Morcuende explained that “as a consequence of the rupture of the volcanic cone the day before yesterday there is a change in the lava flow, a lava flow that is the original one that has lost its bellows and has no lava input. Another wash, runs parallel to the main one with enough power and damages residential areas and crops, but we are not concerned, in quotes, because it runs through an evacuated area and does not cause personal damage, but does material damage. And a last wash of less power than this previous one, more to the northwest and that has crossed the polygon of Callejón de La Gata diagonally, is transposing to a new basin head and threatens some urban element that was not evacuated until now. This is the one that worries the most because it is heading towards non-evacuated areas.

"The laundry," he insisted, "will take time to reach this area but we have been forced to evacuate at 1:00 p.m. to the La Laguna area, due to this change in slope after crossing the industrial estate diagonally."

It is moving slowly and is heading to the evacuated area, for that reason the evacuation has been carried out in a preventive way, with the possibility that the neighbors can rescue valuables. The total number of evacuated people is between 700 and 8.00 people . People with reduced mobility will go to El Fuerte and others to the Hotel Princes.

Evacuation decision
The wash that has forced some 700 or 800 people to evacuate today in Los Llanos de Aridane is advancing slowly but inexorably threatening urban elements , Morcuende said, and the technicians of the volcanic emergency hope to supervise a map of danger regarding the course it could take. lava.

The map has been commissioned by the technical director of Pevolca, Miguel Ángel Morcuende, who has also specified that the number of people evacuated from Los Llanos de Aridane may vary because many residents had previously left the area , days ago, removing belongings from their homes. in anticipation that something might happen.

In addition, the scientific spokesperson for Pevolca, María José Blanco, has indicated that in recent hours the volcanic tremor signal has increased, which in principle indicates that there is a higher gas content in the magma that is emerging from the eruptive center

Regarding the appearance of the cone, new landslides are not ruled out , Miguel Ángel Morcuende has also explained.

Yesterday, Monday, Morcuende explained, they proceeded to confine other neighborhoods, due to the entrance into the Callejón de La Gata and to set fire to facilities with polluting waste, that is why residents of Los Llanos and El Paso were confined to prevent the air from transporting toxic elements, hence the confinement continued all night until this morning when air quality measurements advised lifting the confinement.

Nothing to burn in La Gata
There is nothing left to burn in the Callejón de La Gata, explained the Pevolca technician. The materials that have burned emitted hydrogen sulfide and water vapor in small quantities without reaching toxic thresholds for people.

For her part, María José Blanco has pointed out that the Los Guirres and El Charcón lava fields seem to have no activity. The morphology of the cone changes repeatedly. The ash and gas column height reaches 3,500 meters. The rise in height provides good air quality. The ash cloud is west-east and to the south, the most affected areas are the east and south. The operation of the airport may be compromised.

Seismicity continues in the same area between 15 and 20 kilometers, the maximum magnitude of 4.1 and more earthquakes and landslides are expected in sloping areas.

Sulfur dioxide emission 21,868 tons per day and high values ​​without danger for residents and visitors.

The air quality yesterday suffered a sulfur dioxide peak of 824 micrograms cubic meter that subsided in the following hours. In Los Llanos it only exceeded the maximum threshold.

The amplitude of the tremor has increased, indicating that there is more gas emanating from the eruptive center.

[jand]

The activity has been stable during the past 24 hours. At the cone, pulsating lava fountains continued from the more or less merged vents inside its crater generating an ash plume rising to approx. 3,500 m altitude and drifting towards southerly directions. Thanks to the trade wind regime avoiding ash drifting over to the east coast, the airport of La Palma airport is operational again today, but 11 flights were cancelled and others delayed, according to local news.
Volcanic tremor remains high. It has increased a bit compared to previous days, suggesting continued high effusion rates of magma. No significant ground deformation was detected, meaning that magma arriving into the system is balanced by the magma being erupted as lava. In other words, the eruption seems in a stable phase at the moment.
While most lava is going directly into lava tubes feeding various parts of the flow field further downslope, a surface flow remains active from the cone's opening to the west, sneaking its way along the northern margins of the flow field. Most growth of the lava field was from active flow fronts along the northern margins, threatening so far untouched areas north of Todoque and near La Laguna.
Additional 700-800 people from this area were ordered to evacuate their houses, local press reported:
"We have been obliged to evacuate a new area. The lava is advancing slowly. People should have time to take their documents, their personal items and anything of value," said Miguel Angel Morcuende, technical director of Pevolca, according to an article in TRTWorld.

Earthquakes:
The numbers of quakes remains elevated, but has decreased to about 50% of what it had been a few days ago. During the past 24 hours, there were 2 quakes of magnitude 4.0 or above, 19 quakes between 3.0 and 4.0, and 49 quakes between 2.0 and 3.0. The locations of the quakes remain the same at 10-15 km depth beneath the central part of Cumbre Vieja volcano, with no clear trend of quakes becoming shallower or migrating side-wise.
Their exact meaning is unknown, but the most accepted interpretation is that they reflect magma intruding into that area, which in this case acts as refilling the magma storage system. This might help explain why the eruption has been continuing at remarkably steady effusion rates for three and a half week now.

Cut-off time: seven in the afternoon
Urgent eviction. The residents of Los Llanos lived a day of stress, between the rush to collect what was necessary and the fear of losing their homes and businesses

Until seven in the afternoon. That was the time limit that the authorities granted to the more than 700 inhabitants of the La Laguna neighborhood in Los Llanos de Aridane to proceed with the evacuation of their homes.

The lava flows from the Cumbre Vieja volcano, on their capricious path, descend towards this area of ​​the municipality to cause more damage than that already caused in the neighboring neighborhood of Todoque. The center of La Laguna, where the square and the church are located, the place chosen weeks ago by the Kings of Spain to have a meeting with the victims in the first days of the eruption, was yesterday a hive of vans loaded with furniture and family belongings trying to get away from the dominions of the volcano. Marcelino Hernández, president of the Association of Neighbors of La Laguna, recounts the difficult moments that the population of this entire area lived through.

«We already had to suffer with the evacuation of Todoque and see how the volcano took hundreds of houses and farms; now it's our turn , "he says while tying a rope to the railings of a truck full of belongings that he has helped his neighbor Manuel to evict from his home. In total, there are more than 6,200 people who have been displaced from their homes by the fury of the volcano's lava, according to the technical director of the Volcanic Emergency Plan (Pevolca), Miguel Angel Morcuende, yesterday.

n the Central Bar, a few meters from the Parroquia de San Isidro Labrador, they are dislodging all the furniture: chairs, tables, arcade machines, coffee makers, refrigerators ... everything is loaded into various trucks in order to «save what is can, ”says its owner, who remembers that this establishment has been open for more than 40 years. A little further down, near the Volcán de San Juan cooperative, in the Casa Gloria bar the last drinks are served to the customers who are there. Most are regulars, residents of La Laguna and farmers.

Some are optimistic, as far as possible under these circumstances. "I am in the belief that the lava is going to be diverted up there, and it is going to fall to the south," says one of those present.

In front of Casa Gloria there is a hardware store that also sells construction material. One of its owners, Ricardo Martín, resigned that they have been taking out all the material and products they can since Monday morning.

“We put them on pallets and transport them by truck to various warehouses that have been loaned to us. We want to save as much as we can. Ricardo is clear that the laundry will get there and that they will lose the industrial warehouse that he and his brothers have had for more than 25 years, and that it is the economic support of the family. Among the volunteers who help to evacuate this construction materials company is the mayor of Tijarafe, Marcos Lorenzo, who, wearing work clothes and a tired face, tells how important it is at this time to help save those things that are each house more appreciate.

«The solidarity of all the municipalities of La Palma has been shown by this catastrophe. All of us palm trees have understood the seriousness of what is happening in the Aridane Valley, and for that reason any effort that we can contribute is little for what these thousands of people are living in front of this hell of a volcano ”, indicates the mayor.

Although the so-called north wash of the volcano is quite far from this area, all the inhabitants of La Laguna have immediately set out to vacate their houses.

"We have seen what lava has done with our neighbors in Todoque, and I am not going to wait until the last minute," says Manuel as he loads a mattress into a truck.

«Down in Todoque the laundry took away my banana farm; I spent 32 years working in Venezuela to have something here when I returned, and now I have lost it; I'm not going to wait for the lava to steal more from me now, "he says.

Days ago, La Laguna was the shelter of the residents of Todoque, there even mass was celebrated for the faithful parishioners of Saint Pius XI, whose hermitage was destroyed by the wash; now in the neighbors you can see the fear on their faces and the despair. Down the street, two women are busy carrying two large suitcases. His weight is such that even a journalist from TV3 offers to help. A small gesture that is immensely grateful. Nearby in his home, Valentín Ramos, prepares a small trailer to transport his pets, three dogs that he confesses that he does not know what he is going to do with them. "I don't know where we'll go after seven in the afternoon, and I don't know where to put the dogs," this young office equipment technician tells us worriedly. He has his own repair shop in his home garage.

"Here we will leave everything, we take the essentials, I suppose we can return tomorrow and another day to take things out, that will depend on how the lava goes down," he says. The next few hours will be very tense for the residents of the La Laguna neighborhood, as they were for those of the neighboring Todoque neighborhood.

The volcano does not give up and continues with its activity, pouring lava and making new washings at will.

Yesterday was a dark day in the Aridane Valley. The dense layer of ash did not let the Sun rise at any time of the day; But it was also a gray day for thousands of inhabitants who have once again faced the force of the volcano as the maximum expression of Nature.

Latest update courtesy of Enrique.

12/10/2021 h Canary Islands.- PALM ISLAND ERUPTION.- TAILS DON ' T PAINT WELL, EVERY TIME ARE GOING MORE NORTH.- This is not going well, and it is that watching the lava on a hillside, where it did not come down yesterday further north than yesterday, makes me think that problems are coming for the next few days because another colad comes, flow 10 sticky to the northern part of flow 9 And it had stopped, but if this keeps going, it's going to continue, entering through the top of the polygon and derivating the safest northward to the ravine of the Pedregal.

And I found this video from today's IGME at noon.. think about what it says and I found it after concluding this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daA9kFXiku8

And the eruption follows, you see three mouths that eject pyroclasts, two with desire and a smaller one in the middle, and then below you see another mouth that comes out a lot of lava that goes down the north side, as I say It's taking it all away.. I'm leaving you the flow video this afternoon in drone view:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2b3L4NvTQA

CURVE OF ENERGIES AND SISMICITY

The seismicity continues to stick, an earthquake of magnitude 3.8 this afternoon. and some smaller ones, but the energy rate is low,, we are below the straight that marks the emission rate of seismic energy, indicating that you have to regain the lost ground if you keep pushing, so that would move again with some 4 + earthquake in the next few hours. These are the last ones

es2021uafex 16:52:20 12/10/2021 15:52:20-17.7671 36 mbLg III SE VILLA DE MAZO. ILP

And of course, there is more, cyclical patterns, 37 hours ago there was a 4.1, and 35 hours ago we had a magnitude 4.2 earthquake 4.2 and 36 hours before one of magnitude 4 3... or what's the same, the possibility of the earthquake going for early morning could be delayed to this maximum, despite everything yesterday we had a late moderate one and all, but it wasn't the one I expected. The forecast for the maximum tonight is past midnight at 3:40 h IGN, 04:40 h canaria 05:40 h peninsula time. The delay would be another maximum of a few hours around 8:15 h IGN, 9:15 h Canary Island and 10:15 h peninsula.

But there is another possibility we need to check, and the system is dropping pressure and these earthquakes do not occur causing a drop in the rate of seismic energy emission and indicating a relaxation of the system, although above the rise of more material from deep levels will cause the eruption to increase in quantity and volume of ejected magma, making the most powerful eruption for a few days. We have eruption left for a couple of weeks at least if it's two months.. or more.

VOLCANIC CONE STABILITY:

It's another issue that worries me, there are large cracks on the west side of the volcano that anticipate something fat could happen west and south of the volcán with a seismic movement, see the crack that goes up the hillside seen in this video of the IGME on minute two of video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2cMb7te4cA

ANOTHER VOLCAN??

A lot of people are asking me this, I'll try to tell it in the best way I can. While this eruptive canal is open, it will be rare for another volcano to open, as much as we would have another mouth at a distance of at least 500 m from the volcano, exceptionally 1 km, but little more.
Now the deep earthquake-volcanic swarm that we are suffering is releasing a lot of energy with 4 + magnitude events indicating a pressurized magmatic system that wants to go out, so that in principle would do it for the easiest site, the channel that is already open, so NO new volcano will open as long as the eruption continues.

Now, if this eruption ceases or stops for some reason, then we would move on to another stage, the 1949, where for 18 days it stopped and then went out through Nambroque and the plain of the bank. In this case the same thing happens and if the eruption stops, then yes, the magma would try to go back out and then there are two options, either come out at the same point or open a new one. The odds are 80 % through existing conduit and 20 % on the other hand.

Earthquakes are under Old Summit, in the summit zone in the Nambroque area, if it goes up vertically, in theory it would erupt in that area, it would be most likely, but as I say, first of all they should give more conditions to see by where it comes out as seeing the deformation and several more earthquakes and other indications that must mark the future eruption zone.

The eruption will continue, and I hope that for the sake of everyone will calm down in the next few days.. although at the moment it does not yet show actual infirmity, just small indications. good night. (Enrique)

Lava devastates almost 1,500 buildings
Meanwhile, the lava from the three lava flows of the La Palma volcano continues to flow slowly and threatens other population centers

The lava that comes out of the Cumbre Vieja volcano, on the island of La Palma, has so far affected 656 hectares and has destroyed 1,458 buildings as it passes through the territory, according to the latest update from Copernicus , the observation program of the European Union.

Specifically, this radar update corresponds to the one carried out on October 12 at 06.50 am. In this way, the hectares affected by the eruption of the volcano has increased by 86.4 in relation to the previous 43 hours.

For its part, the detected buildings destroyed experienced an increase of 135.

Meanwhile, the lava from the three flows of the La Palma volcano continues to flow slowly while seismic activity persists on the island, where in the last hours 20 earthquakes have been recorded, the most intense in the municipality of Mazo , with a magnitude of 3 , 9 and 37 kilometers deep.

The situation remains this way on the day that the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, visits La Palma for the fourth time since the volcano erupted in order to foreseeably expose new measures to support those affected with a charge of 206 million euros. approved by the Council of Ministers.

In addition, Sánchez is expected to participate this Wednesday in the meeting of the steering committee of the Special Plan for Civil Protection against Volcanic Risk in the Canary Islands (Pevolca) and to visit the Los Llanos de Aridane Office of Attention to Victims.

Meanwhile, the lava continues to flow through the lava flow that was opened to the north of the main one and that so far has washed away an industrial park in Los Llanos and has forced 800 people to evacuate in La Laguna.

The latest report from the Department of Homeland Security (DSN) indicates that the lava flow is changing in the last hours as a result of the collapse of the volcano cone, which occurred last Saturday.

In addition to the new north wash, there are two other languages, according to the DSN: the original one, which barely has a lava contribution, and another one located further south, which affects new constructions within the security perimeter.
