  "summary": "Mount Semeru, Java's highest volcano, has been emitting booming sounds during eruptions, causing residents to remain vigilant but not panic. The Lumajang Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) urges the public to stay calm and follow safety recommendations issued by the agency and the Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Agency (PVMBG). Mount Semeru remains at Level III (Alert) status, and the public should avoid activities in the southeastern sector along Besuk Kobokan and within 500 meters of riverbanks or riparian zones along Besuk Kobokan, as there is a potential for pyroclastic clouds and lahar flows extending up to 17 kilometers from the summit.",
