Mexico - May 11, 2025 The Popocatépetl volcano registered eight emissions on May 11, according to the National Center for Disaster Prevention (Cenapred). These exhalations included water vapor and volcanic gases. The activity was described as low and steady over the last 24 hours. Due to cloud cover, the volcano was not fully visible at the time of the report. However, a light emission of gases was seen drifting southeast in the early morning. Popocatépetl remains at Yellow Phase 2 on the Cenapred volcanic alert system. This phase includes minor to moderate explosions, variable tremors, and possible ashfall in nearby towns. It also includes the risk of incandescent fragments within a 12-kilometer exclusion zone and potential mudflows during rain due to ash buildup. The possibility of pyroclastic flows remains, though they are not expected to reach populated areas. Authorities urge the public to stay away from the volcano, especially near the crater, due to the danger of falling volcanic fragments. People should also avoid ravines during heavy rains, which could trigger mud and debris flows. Federal officials asked citizens to follow only official information through Cenapred and the National Civil Protection Coordination.
