Sources in the regional government of the Canary Islands told Efe that the affected area runs along the road between the villages of La Laguna and Tazacorte and adjoins the border of the previously evacuated perimeter.
Victims will have to leave their homes with their belongings and pets before 17:00 (the same time in Lisbon) and go to a designated meeting point located in the city of Los Llanos.
People who are unable to collect their belongings will be allowed to do so in the following days, gradually and accompanied if security conditions permit.
On Wednesday evening, another evacuation took place, as a result of which about fifteen residents were injured.
Earlier, another 800 residents were evacuated from the La Laguna area due to a new landslide in recent days north of the main road.
In total, the eruption of Cumbre Vieja, which began on September 19, has already led to the evacuation of about 7,000 people, some of whom have lost everything they had in the lava flow.
Since 00:00 today, a total of 60 earthquakes have been recorded on the island of La Palma, one of which is 4.5 degrees, the strongest earthquake since the volcanic eruption began 26 days ago.
According to the Spanish National Geographic Institute (IGN), seismic activity on La Palma has increased in recent hours after a slight decline on Wednesday.
The island of La Palma, with about 85,000 inhabitants, is currently experiencing its third volcanic eruption in a century, after the San Juan volcano in 1949 and Tenegia in 1971.
