Publication now available in VHUB: the Handbook for Volcanic Risk Management
The EU project MIAVITA has published the “Handbook for Volcanic Risk Management - Prevention, Crisis management, Resilience”, which can be found now on VHUB: http://vhub.org/resources/2333
This handbook is mainly addressed to civil protection stakeholders, scientists and in general to all Institutions/people that deal with volcanoes. It aims at synthesizing the knowledge acquired during the MIAVITA project in a practical and useful way to cover the main aspects of volcanic risk management, such as prevention, preparedness, mitigation, intervention, crisis management and resilience. It promotes the creation of an ideal bridge between different stakeholders involved in risk management, improving and facilitating interactions among authorities and scientists.
The handbook is divided into 6 main sections and it takes into account the socio-economic, cultural and agricultural aspects, as well as cost effective monitoring and management of volcanic crisis. It is particularly oriented towards developing countries.
Any efforts to disseminate the handbook will be significantly appreciated.
For any suggestion, comments or request please contact Pierre Thierry (p.thierry@xxxxxxx) or Vittorio Bosi (vittorio.bosi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
