Session 4.1:
Volcanic Emergencies: The role of government & planning based within communities
Description:
This
session attempts to cover the most relevant topics of the relationship
that is generated between authorities, scientists and the population at
risk when identifying the occurrence of an imminent volcanic hazard,
when there is an eruption underway or during the process of prevention
and mitigation of disasters in communities living besides active
volcanoes. It will seek to explore the various responsibilities, some
exclusive, other shared in emergency decision-making; in the definition
of actions of reducing risk, which include land use planning, the
elaboration of plans for response and recovery, as well as the existence
or non-existence of support within the legal system. It will seek to
define the problems experienced for specific cases of volcanic
emergencies, where observation was possible of the roles adopted, either
separate or in collaboration, of the at-risk populations, scientists
and civil and/or military authorities. One objective of the session will
be to learn from experiences of community-based planning.

Enrique Guevara (Mexico's National Disaster Prevention Center (Cenapred), Mexico)
