Seismology authorities have placed Mount Sinabung at an alert level or locally known as level III siaga.

“Residents and visitors or tourists have been advised to avoid any kind of activities in the villages that have been relocated,” according to the state news agency.

People have also been advised to stay away and not be within a 3 km radius of the volcano. They were also asked to wear masks when leaving their houses to minimize the effects of volcanic ash.

Residents living near to rivers have also been advised to be aware of the dangers of lava floods and to protect clean water from the Sinabung volcanic ash.
