Dear Colleagues,

Just a reminder that if you're thinking about a proposal to host Cities on Volcanoes in 2016 you need to submit your nominations by Monday. This simply involves an email to the CaV Commission at this stage. See below.


With Cities on Volcanoes 8 to be held later this year in Indonesia (http://citiesonvolcanoes8.com/), the Cities on Volcanoes Commission is pleased to invite nominations for the hosting of Cities on Volcanoes 9.

Please read through the details and purpose below and consider hosting the next CoV meeting. Note the important dates at the bottom.

Email proposals to the 'Commission Leader' via http://cav.volcano.info/

Background: To date there have been seven “Cities on Volcanoes” meetings. The purpose of these meetings is to bring together volcanologists, city authorities, sociologists, psychologists, emergency managers, economists and city planners to evaluate volcanic crises preparedness and management in cities and densely populated areas.

In 1995 the “Volcanoes in Towns” meeting was held in Rome, Italy. From that developed the first “Cities on Volcanoes”, held in June-July 1998 in Rome and Naples, Italy with over 100 people attending. This was followed by the second in February 2001 in Auckland, New Zealand; the third in Hilo, USA in July 2003; the fourth in Quito, Ecuador in January 2006; the fifth in Shimabara, Japan in November 2007; the sixth in May 2010 in Tenerife, Spain; and the most recent in Colima, Mexico, November 2012. The eighth is planned for 9-13 September 2014, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
