Dear colleagues,
Have you been involved in the development or use of volcanic hazard maps? Please read on!!
The Hazard Mapping Working Group of IAVCEI is facilitating a number of activities to collate information about the different ways that volcanic hazard maps are developed around the world. The aim of this work is to develop an open access document that summarises these approaches and methods, together with advice and examples from practice.
Jan Lindsay and Mary Anne Thompson (University of Auckland) are conducting a survey to help the Working Group collect data about official, published volcanic hazard maps and how they were developed. The survey asks questions about map content and design, as well as questions about the development process. The responses will be used to describe and summarise current practices in volcanic hazard map development in a report that will be compiled by the IAVCEI Hazard Mapping Working Group.
If you have been involved in the development of official (operational) hazard maps, please consider participating in this survey. This survey should only be completed by people who have been involved in the development of official hazard maps or who have institutional knowledge of the development process of official hazard maps.
Participation is voluntary, and by completing the survey you are giving your consent to participate. The survey is available in both English and Español.
You can fill out the anonymous online survey by visiting the link below:

Or, you may fill out a PDF copy of the survey available at the link below:

NOTE: if appropriate you can fill in the survey several times (i.e. once for each map or map set)
If you complete the pdf version, please e-mail the survey back to Jan Lindsay at the e-mail address below. Your e-mail address is confidential and will not be saved or recorded.
A full explanation of the project can be found in the Participant Information Sheet, which is available at the link above and can also be found on the first page of the online survey. Please read this information sheet so that you fully understand the purpose and procedures for the project before participating.
If you have any queries or if you need more information regarding this study, please contact Assoc. Prof. Jan Lindsay: j.lindsay@xxxxxxxxxxx
Many thanks for your time!
Jan
