Popocatépetl has been active since 1994 and has gone through episodes of increased activity, including forcing 40,000 residents from their homes in December 2000.

In May 2023, ash emissions forced authorities to open evacuation shelters, close nearby schools, and temporarily shut down airfields, including Mexico City’s Benito Juárez International Airport.
