At Nevados de Chillan, the Sernageomin continues to record volcano-tectonic and wide-period earthquakes, as well as the tremor.

LP earthquakes and the tremor are related to the frequent, weak to moderate, explosions associated with the growth-destruction cycle of the dome in the Nicanor crater.

Winter conditions and the appearance of snow on landforms increase the risk of lahars, which should be small volumes.

Under these conditions of minor eruption, alert level remains in Naranja.
