Volcanoes have been always highly attractive because of their beautiful landscapes, fertile soils, strategic geographic position and socio-economic geo-resources. Nine percent of the world’s population therefore live within 100 km of a historically active volcano despite the risks, especially from explosive eruptions. Communities may be put at risk by very large, short-lasting explosive events (as in 2014 at Kelud volcano, Indonesia) or, more frequently, by low intensity, repeated explosive eruptions (e.g., in recent years at Mt. Etna, Italy) or long-lasting explosive activity (e.g., in 2010 at Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland or in 2011 at Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcanic complex in Central Andes). Even small concentrations of ash on the ground or in the air can seriously impact local communities. This session will present new strategies and methods to communicate with, and prepare, the local communities to cope with the challenges of living close to explosive volcanoes. Single and simple actions, as well as complex and integrated systems, may be undertaken to build and strengthen the resilience of communities, thus reducing the impact of tephra fallout on ordinary life, especially in heavily populated areas. We welcome contributions focused on: (i) training people to adopt best practices to help coexist with the impact of tephra fallout, and (ii) developing innovative tools, which also exploit Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), to better acquire, share and disseminate data and information before, during and after an explosive eruption, thus enhancing the effective management of the territory in case of volcanic crisis.

************************************************************************************************************
Dear All,
We would like to draw your attention to the session “S3.1 - Strengthening the community’s resilience during explosive eruptions by effective communication and preparedness” proposed in the context of Cities on Volcanoes 10, which will be held in Naples, Italy, on 2-7th September 2018 (https://www.citiesonvolcanoes10.com/it/abstract/ ).
This session is focused on new strategies and methods to communicate with, and prepare, the local communities to cope with the challenges of living close to explosive volcanoes. Contributions on best practices and on innovative tools to help coexist with the impact of tephra fallout are welcome.
