After erupting in December 2024 and forcing thousands of people to flee their homes, Mt. Kanloan was active once again on May 13, 2025, sending up a massive ash plume, which then blanketed nearby towns in ashfall, prompting more evacuations. Americares emergency response teams have been active in the area since December, providing local health providers with nebulizers and oxygen regulators and distributing 2,000 N95 masks, as well as hundreds of hygiene kits, to families. The team also held handwashing demonstrations. To ease the stress of trauma and loss, Americares deployed a mental health and psychosocial team, which provided activities for adults and more than 500 children at three evacuation centers. Americares Philippines emergency response team will continue to monitor the volcano and the threats it poses to the health of nearby communities.
