| Indonesia – The Indonesian Government ordered the evacuation of thousands of people from the slopes surrounding Mount Merapi volcano, warning of an imminent eruption as the mountain oozed lava and let out clouds of black ash. Hundreds of women, children and elderly were taken in buses and trucks to relocation centers set up at local schools and government buildings. Authorities had been preparing for the evacuations when volcanic activity escalated they elected to put the region on highest alert after they observed two days of steady lava flow from the 9,700-foot peak on the island of Java. |
