3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 From: Annalisa Cappello <annalisa.cappello@xxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, we invite you to submit an abstract to the session we are organizing under the theme "Evaluating and communicating volcanic hazards and risks" within the next IAVCEI 2023 Scientific Assembly: *Lava flow hazard modeling, risk assessment and uncertainty quantification*Effective volcanic risk management depends strongly on the degree of proactive policies of risk reduction. Ideally, these policies should be developed based on comprehensive volcanic risk assessments, which are completed with careful data collection such as satellite and ground-based observations, subsequent modeling of the hazard uncertainties and elements at risk, and ultimately estimating the associated vulnerability. In reality, this rarely occurs. Instead, policies are commonly made based on incomplete hazard assessments and without careful consideration of exposure and vulnerability. At many active volcanoes, the data necessary to classify vulnerability is insufficiently catalogued, requiring the development of new methods to improve exposure information. In addition, models of lava flow processes able to identify interactions between volcanic hazard and vulnerability are limited by many sources of uncertainty. We welcome contributions showing how hazard modeling and risk assessment can be combined to increase preparedness and implement mitigation measures. .
