The project - Objectives In ICPC volcanic risk management is less favourable, due to sociological, economical and cultural reasons. Management requires an integrated and seamless volcanic risk management that is designed by local authorities and scientists. prevention tools based on risk assessment through risk mapping and realization of possible damage scenarios improvement of crisis management capabilities based on monitoring, early warning systems and secure communications reduction of people's vulnerability and development of recovering capabilities after as event occurs (resilience) for both local communities and ecological systems 4
Risk assessment and risk management methodology Cost effective tools for integrated monitoring Alert level Detailed monitoring strategies Knowledge on volcano structure and dynamics Crisis management Communications Civil protection preparedness New fundamental knowledge Databases, maps, evolution scenarios Knowledge Database Risk mapping Scenario builders Behaviour acceptability Databases, maps, evolution scenarios Community based maps Prevention Regulatory mapping Capacity building Information Recommendations Historical volcanic context Appropriate communications and messages Local communication strategies Social and economic factors analysis 5
Target sites Volcanoes under different geodynamical context (intraplates or sub-duction zones) Very active volcanoes Different social, cultural and economical environment Different entities in charge of crisis management (army, civil protection) Mount Cameron, 2000 Fogo, 1995 Merapi, 2006 Kanlaon, 2006 6
