(CNN) -- The worst might be over on Indonesia's Mount Merapi volcano, disaster officials said Thursday. They urged calm in the aftermath of recent eruptions, which started on October 26 and have killed 191 people. "Generally speaking, Mount Merapi has passed its dangerous phase," the National Agency for Disaster Management said. It cited recent eruptions versus historic ones. Merapi's recent eruptions have released about 140 million cubic meters of magma, the disaster agency said. The previous record flow occurred in 1872, at 100 million cubic meters. The information was released in an attempt to reassure Indonesians, especially those in the Yogyakarta and Central Java area.
