Chile orders evacuation around stirring southern volcano
SANTIAGO, May 27 (Reuters) – Chilean authorities ordered on Monday a mandatory evacuation of a 25-km (15.5-mile) radius around the active Copahue volcano, which straddles the border with Argentina.
The volcano, located hundreds of kilometers (miles) from capital Santiago in south-central Chile’s Bio Bio region, has seen increasing seismic activity in recent weeks, but still has not erupted, authorities said.
According to the National Geological and Mining Service(Sernageomin), the volcano “is now in a process that risks turning into an eruption, for that reason we’ve issued a red alert,” Interior Minister Andres Chadwick said on a nationally televised news conference.
Authorities estimated that some 2,240 people will be evacuated.
