    The document summarizes the impacts of eruptions from five historically active volcanoes in the Philippines - Pinatubo, Taal, Mayon, Bulusan, and Kanlaon. Eruptions from these volcanoes have resulted in pyroclastic flows and surges that destroyed vegetation and structures; ashfall that buried communities; and lahars triggered by rain that destroyed bridges and buried houses. The 1991 eruption of Pinatubo turned slopes into gray desert and displaced people, while eruptions of Taal, Mayon and Kanlaon have caused deaths from ashfall, ballistic projectiles and pyroclastic flows over the years.
