The ongoing eruption poses risks primarily to the immediate vicinity of the volcano. Lava flows, while slow-moving, can cause significant damage to the surrounding environment. The presence of small earthquakes indicates continued volcanic activity, which could escalate. The lack of visible activity due to cloud cover may hinder real-time monitoring, potentially delaying response to any sudden changes. Air travel in the region could also be affected due to the ORANGE Aviation Color Code, indicating potential hazards to aircraft.
