WEATHER & SAFETY ADVISORY: VOLCANIC ASHFALL
Please be advised that the "raining dust" in Cebu is volcanic ash from this morning's eruption of Mt. Kanlaon, mixed with monsoon haze. Because volcanic ash consists of tiny, abrasive rock particles rather than regular dust, please observe the following immediate safety measures on campus and during commutes:
Wear Masks: Students and staff are strongly advised to wear N95 or surgical masks while outdoors to protect their lungs.
Keep Classrooms Closed: Keep all school windows and doors shut. Turn off air conditioning units that pull in outdoor air.
Protect Your Eyes: Avoid rubbing your eyes if they feel gritty. Wear glasses instead of contact lenses today.
Drive with Caution: Roads will be exceptionally slick and slippery due to the mix of light rain and ash. Please take extra care during dismissal.
Stay indoors as much as possible until the air clears.
