The eruption was recorded on the\nseismograph with a maximum amplitude of 22 mm and an initial duration of\napproximately 2 minutes and 20 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe eruption was still ongoing at the time the report was being\nprepared,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to official records, Mount Semeru erupted four times on\nSunday between 00:21 WIB and 06:22 WIB, with observed eruption heights\nranging from 500 meters to 1.3 kilometers above the peak.<\/p>\n<p>Liswanto explained that Mount Semeru is currently at Alert Level III\n(Siaga). The recommendation is that the public must not conduct any\nactivities in the southeastern sector along the Besuk Kobokan river,\nwithin a 13-kilometer radius of the peak (the eruption center).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeyond that distance, the public should not carry out activities\nwithin 500 meters of the riverbanks along Besuk Kobokan, due to the\npotential risk of expanding hot cloud surges and lahar (volcanic\nmudflows) reaching up to 17 kilometers from the peak,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He also urged the public to avoid activities within a 5-kilometer\nradius of the Mount Semeru crater or peak, as the area is prone to the\ndanger of ejected incandescent rocks.<\/p>\n<p>The public is also advised to remain vigilant regarding the potential\nfor hot cloud surges, lava avalanches, and lahar flows along the river\nchannels and valleys originating from the peak of Mount Semeru.\n\u201cEspecially along Besuk Kobokan, Besuk Bang, Besuk Kembar, and Besuk\nSat, as well as the potential for lahar flows in the small rivers that\nare tributaries of Besuk Kobokan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Read: Mount Semeru Erupts With Booming Sounds in East Java<\/p>\n<p>Click here to get the latest news updates from Tempo on Google\nNews<\/p>",
