Help: Volcanic Shape files

Dear All,
About a year and half ago, I used
this mailing list to broaden my research field in the face of volcanic
risk and the impact of cultural and religious studies, in the process
establishing great connections with people and generating great
information on the topic. Some of you may remember the survey that was
sent round, but for those that do not, please see the link below if you
would like a read.
Well, today I ask for help once more. Currently I am working with a company called AIR - Worldwide (http://www.air-worldwide.com/Home/AIR-Worldwide/)
in which we model natural hazards, such as hurricanes and earthquake
and see how they impact property insurance. Recently there has been talk
of trying to incorporate, or at least, look into the feasibility, of
volcanic risk.
At AIR, we are currently looking
to see what information there is out there. Such as, if it would be
possible to gain access to GIS shapefiles to which we can then
incorporate into various functionalities.
We hope
to achieve, via the use of Geospatial analytics, the ability to either
reproduce events, or depending on the quality and accessibility of
information, use a wide variety of events to put together a catalogue of
events footprints and damage ratios for a certain volcano.
If anyone has dealt with, or has any, or knows of anyone that could help with this, I would be very grateful.
We are currently looking at European volcanoes, but the more the merrier.
Please do not hesitate to contact me on dmwharris@xxxxxxxxxxx
Many thanks,
David
