Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit an abstract to the session S3.16
â??Evacuations in volcanic environments: practice, realities and advancesâ?? (
https://pcoconvin.eventsair.com/volcanoes11/session03#S316) for the COV11
Conference in Heraklion, Crete, 23-27 May 2020.

*Description:
Conducting timely and complete evacuations in volcanic environments,
coupled with maintaining them  over time, is a complex issue. It is crucial
to optimize the factors that lead to efficient evacuations to be able to
save lives during a volcanic crisis, as shown for example during the 2010
Merapi eruption during which gradual evacuations saved 10,000 to 20,000
lives. However, an efficient evacuation in the eyes of the authorities
(with as few  fatalities as possible) might not necessarily be considered
as effective by the evacuees themselves. Inconveniences and disruptions in
their daily life (e.g. access to livelihoods), create incentives  to return
to exclusion zones, against advice.

This session invites submissions that evaluate the drivers for a successful
evacuation from the point of view of scientists, decision-makers, any other
stakeholders, and the population at risk.. Contributions that explore the
incentives, limitations, strategies, and root causes that inform decisions
to evacuate in the face of a volcanic threat are particularly welcome. Any
type of evacuation will be considered: either short or long-term,
emergency, compulsory, spontaneous, marked by refusals, real or
exercise-based, passed or expected.


We welcome case studies, as well as propositions of approaches, methods,
and tools to study and improve the efficiency of evacuation procedures and
their acceptability for evacuees in volcanic environments. We invite
contributions from physical and social sciences researchers as well as from
practitioners from the communities, NGOâ??s, and authorities who have
experienced and/or potentially will experience evacuations.


*The submission deadline is Monday, 25 January 2020.* Details for
submission at: https://pcoconvin.eventsair.com/volcanoes11/abstracts

*Conveners:

Julie Morin, University Clermont Auvergne, France

Jenni Barclay, University of East Anglia

Estu Wulang Mei, University Gadjah Mada

Looking forward to seeing you in Crete!
