According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), close to 5,700 families, or about 20,000 people from six municipalities and two component cities in Albay, have been forcibly evacuated since the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) raised Alert Level 3 due to the heightened unrest of Mayon. Affected families are now staying in evacuation centers that include public schools, local government-owned evacuation centers, and other buildings converted into temporary shelters in the cities of Ligao and Tabaco and the towns of Santo Domingo, Malilipot, Guinobatan, Bacacay, Camalig, and Daraga.
