********************************************************************************************************
Colleagues,
For the IAVCEI 2017 Scientific Assembly in Portland, Oregon, August 14-18, 2017, we invite you to submit an abstract for session VII.6 in Volcanoes and Human Societies:
VII. 6 Successful information coordination among scientists, civil protection groups, and local officials during a crisis
Successful information coordination among scientists, emergency managers, and local officials is the primary foundation for effective volcano crisis response. Key to success is recognizing that effective coordination is a long-term process and not just an outcome. Effective information coordination ideally begins well in advance of a crisis with hazard characterization and identification and engagement of stakeholders with easily comprehensible technical information. This requires multi-level participation in developing message content, delivery, and assessment strategies that can reduce impact and improve community preparedness. This session will focus on relevant research and practical experience that can facilitate information development and coordination before, during, and after a crisis. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, interagency coordination planning; stakeholder engagement, including identifying and assessing how best to communicate with a range of communities; strategies for interacting with social and traditional news media; and the role of Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction in successful communication during a crisis. We welcome case histories as well as academic research on these communication topics.
The deadline for abstract submission is March 17, 2017. Instructions for submissions are available at: http://iavcei2017.org/abstract.html
