SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Gunung Marapi di Kabupaten Agam dan Kabupaten Tanah Datar, Provinsi Sumatera Barat kembali erupsi pada Kamis (20/3) dini hari pukul 02.29 WIB.

Gunung Marapi melontarkan abu vulkanik setinggi 1.000 meter.

"Terjadi erupsi Gunung Marapi pukul 02.29 WIB dengan tinggi kolom abu teramati sekitar 1.000 meter di atas puncak," kata petugas Pos Gunung Api, Gunung Marapi Teguh, Kamis (20/3), dilansir Antara.

Kolom abu teramati berwarna kelabu dengan intensitas tebal condong ke arah selatan. Erupsi terekam di seismogram dengan amplitudo maksimum milimeter serta berdurasi sekitar 54 detik.

Saat ini, Gunung Marapi berstatus Level II atau Waspada sehingga terdapat sejumlah rekomendasi yang dikeluarkan oleh PVMBG.

Masyarakat, pendaki, atau pengunjung diminta tidak memasuki atau berkegiatan di dalam wilayah radius 3 kilometer dari pusat erupsi (Kawah Verbeek) Gunung Marapi.

Selain itu, masyarakat yang bermukim di sekitar lembah, aliran atau bantaran sungai-sungai yang airnya berhulu di puncak Gunung Marapi, selalu mewaspadai potensi ancaman bahaya banjir lahar hujan yang dapat terjadi, terutama saat musim hujan.

Jika terjadi hujan abu masyarakat diimbau untuk menggunakan masker penutup hidung dan mulut guna menghindari gangguan saluran pernapasan akut (ISPA).

PVMBG juga meminta semua pihak menjaga suasana yang kondusif di masyarakat dengan tidak menyebarkan narasi bohong (hoaks), dan tidak terpancing isu-isu yang tidak jelas sumbernya.
