The Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (PVMBG) reported an increase in seismicity at Gede on 1 April. During March plumes (likely steam) rose 50-100 m above the rim of Wadon Crater and an average of 0-1 daily deep volcanic earthquakes were detected by the seismic network. The network recorded 47 deep volcanic earthquakes on 1 April. Seismicity decreased the next day, and no deep volcanic earthquakes were detected during 2-6 April. Plumes continued to rise as high as 100 m above the crater rim. One tornillo earthquake was recorded on 6 April. According to a news article the Balai Besar Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango (TNGGP) (the Gede national park) had already closed the volcano to climbers months before for unstated reasons and was scheduled to reopen on 3 April; the closure was extended to 7 April as a precaution due to the increased seismicity. The Alert Level remained at 1 (on a scale of 1-4) and the public was warned to stay 600 m away from Wadon Crater. The last eruption occurred in 1957 at Ratu Crater.
