Next alert level up (4) is “Hazardous Eruption Imminent”. 5 is in progress.
I have extended family staying in Tagaytay, on the northern rim of Lake Taal, which is the lake surrounding the volcanic isle formed by Taal the volcano.
That sounds pragmatic.
A nearby volcanic eruption can flat out ruin your day. A friend of mine was killed by Mt. St. Helens in 1980 trying to outrun the pyroclastic flow in his Jeep but didn’t make it. His body was recovered from the wrecked and half buried vehicle. He was in his 20’s.

Last paragraph is a little scary...
