The pressures of managing a disaster of this scale in the glare of the world's media is brought into sharp relief, as is the impact on the thousands of citizens evacuated from their homes. The team at GeoTenerife, led by founder Sharon Backhouse, was on the scene when the volcano erupted, so they were able to record the events as they occurred, providing an authentic record of the course of events. Scottish-based film director Alexander Whittle drove the narrative and was quickly recruited and brought locally on the scene to witness and record the catastrophe, interpreting the film records with the vision of a â??big screenâ?? director. Both producer and director share much respect for those people affected and have created a film with sincere hope for the future for the people of La Palma. The hour-long film was recently previewed in both Tenerife and La Palma, with a very positive reception: *Nieves Sanchez, Researcher, Spanish Geological Survey* â??Lava Bombs shows different sensibilities and points of view about the same reality - the eruption - that sometimes are clearly opposed. Achieving this is something very difficult in such a complicated situation.â?? *Jaime Salvador Diaz Pacheco, Assistant Professor, Physical Geography, University of La Laguna (ULL) and GEORIESGOS (GEORISKS) Researcher* "Volcanic eruptions on inhabited lands, like all emergencies caused by natural hazards, can teach us valuable lessons to reduce and manage risk in future. The stories behind and beyond the volcano need to be told. Lava Bombs does this from a social perspective. It transports you to La Palma at the end of 2021 during the latest volcanic event in the Canary Islands that made international headlines. The documentary takes you deep into how everyone felt before, during and after this violent episode. This is a great resource to improve our resilience to catastrophic natural disasters and inform disaster management around the globe." 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 ============================================================== Volcano Listserv is a collaborative venture among Arizona State University (ASU), Portland State University (PSU), the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).
