26 JANUARY 2018 - SANTO DOMINGO, ALBAY, PHILIPPINES: A man picks up saplings he cut to use as tent poles in an impromptu shelter for people evacuated from the slopes of the Mayon volcano. Many evacuees in Santo Domingo are putting up temporary shelters along the Legazpi - Tabaco Road, which runs through Santo Domingo. The volcano was relatively quiet Friday, but the number of evacuees swelled to nearly 80,000 as people left the side of the volcano in search of safety. There are nearly 12,000 evacuees in Santo Domingo, one of the communities most impacted by the volcano. The number of evacuees is impacting the availability of shelter space. Many people in Santo Domingo, on the north side of the volcano, are sleeping in huts made from bamboo and plastic sheeting. The Philippines is now preparing to house the volcano evacuees for up to three months. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
