Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute by submitting an abstract to the session "Forensic analysis of volcanic impact as a support for better preparedness and recovery process" as part of the symposium 3 in the next conference "Cities on Volcanoes 10".
Overview of the session (S3.7):
Volcanic eruptions often generate widespread disruption at multiple temporal and spatial scales associated with a wide spectrum of physical and chemical processes (e.g. ash dispersal, pyroclastic density currents, lava flows, lahars, gas emissions). The resulting impacts often represent overwhelming challenges for both response and recovery. Forensic disaster investigations can begin by providing an exceptional opportunity to make use of impact data to disentangle the different components of the risk function (i.e., hazard, exposure and vulnerability), in order to assess how and to what extent such components are responsible for the observed damage. Widening forensic analysis further can also dig more deeply into the social, cultural, political, and economic drivers of a disaster to understand their contributions and interactions. By identifying the physical causes of damage, but also these aggravating factors, forensic analyses may be of great use to support communities in improving response, recovery and reconstruction processes. In addition, results of forensic analysis could be used by local governments as a basis for implementing preparedness to anticipate future impacts. We welcome contributions that discuss various approaches and outcomes of forensic investigations of the impact associated with both individual and multiple hazards at various temporal and spatial scales.
We are glad to announce also our invited speakers:
- Dr. Susan Loughlin from British Geological Survey
- Prof. Scira Menoni from Politecnico di Milano
The conference will be held in Napoli (Italy) from 2 to 7 September 2018, and the deadline for abstract submission is the 10th of May 2018.
Feel free please to disseminate this announcement to any interested person and also to contact the conveners for further information!
Hope to see you in Naples!
