CoV9. Workshop W11. State of the Hazard Map 2
******************************************************************************************************
Workshop W11. State of the Hazard Map 2
Co-hosted by Latin American Association of Volcanology (ALVO) and the IAVCEI Commission on Volcanic Hazards and Risk, Hazard Mapping Working Group.
Leaders: Eliza S. Calder, Hugo Delgado Granados, José Luis Palma, Jan Lindsay, Jersy Mariño & Hugo Moreno
Workshop description:
There is an important drive to understand if hazard maps produced by volcanologists are being understood and utilised appropriately by end-users (i. e. civil protection officials and others). The volcanology community need to know how to improve hazard assessments and associated maps by hearing the users experience. There is also interest in the community to discuss best practices, and experiences from different global regions, for the production of these maps.
This workshop intends to gather officials and volcanologists in two complimentary parts:
Day 1 will focus on usage and communication of hazard maps and will be aimed at end-users (emergency managers, local authorities, and decision makers etc.) as well as volcanologists.
Day 2 will focus on methods and issues related to hazard analysis and the construction of volcanic hazard maps and will be aimed largely at volcanologists. There will be an emphasis on Latin American applications throughout, and Day 1 will be hosted in Spanish to maximize end-user participation.
We encourage the volcanological community to invite civil protection officials and colleagues from media in order to participate and communicate their end-user experiences in working with hazards maps and the associated communication with scientists.
Registration fees will accommodate either 1 or 2-day participation.
* Simultaneous translation Spanish-English will be available to facilitate the participation of both local and regional officials.
