This is a reminder to potential participants at the 2007 Cities on
Volcanoes meeting to be held in Shimabara, Japan, November 19-23.
The convenors of Session 2-2 - "Impacts of volcanic activity on
infrastructure and effective risk reduction strategies" - welcome and
encourage your submissions on a wide range of topics including eruption
impact studies; response plans; effective warning systems and evacuation
criteria for utilities; role of infrastructure in large-scale evacuations;
managing sediment discharge following tephra accumulation; monitoring of
hydrologic processes and topographic changes; engineering approaches to
directly control volcanic risk (e.g., Sabo dams, drainage tunnels,
degassing pipes); economic consequences of volcanic eruptions; and
cost-benefit analyses of mitigation measures.
We have already received a number of interesting presentations and look
forward to more.
Co-convenors: N. Anyoji, R. Imura, J.Kurihara, Y. Nakamura, C. Neal, T.
