Domenico Mangione, Amy Donovan, Ulrich Kueppers, Julie Morin ***Session description: The importance of transdisciplinary collaborations between scientists and practitioners/decision-makers engaged in risk assessment and volcanic crisis management is recognised as fundamental to 'goodâ?? crisis management. In particular, it is essential that scientific findings are disseminated and understood by the authorities and civil protection, which implies a mutual understanding of the possibilities, limitations and constraints of assessment and communication before and during volcanic crises. Best practices for volcanic observatories have been proposed in recent years, and need to be enriched by taking into account the diversity of contexts (legislative, institutional, environmental...) and by integrating collaborations with researchers outside the observatories whose work can benefit the authorities in terms of assessment and decision-making. One of the unexplored areas in this field is collaboration and communication around high magnitude events with low probability of occurrence or very localized events, which can be difficult to assess and monitor scientifically, and almost impossible for authorities to manage without development of a crisis situation or even a disaster. We welcome presentations from volcano observatory scientists, researchers (including from humanities and social and human sciences), and practitioners engaged in volcanic risk reduction and crisis management. Experiences may include collaboration and communication mechanisms established for joint risk assessment or operational crisis management. The case studies may include feedback from actual crises or exercises/trainings, tools and protocols put in place (or to be put in place) to facilitate transdisciplinary cooperation and communication. We also welcome presentations on other types of hazards (geological, hydro-meteorological, health, industrial or others) which, having taken into account the specificities of volcanic crises, propose real applications/transfers to improve their management. Finally, presentations on the management of cross-border risks and crises, involving a multiplication of interactions and protocols, are also welcome, in order to explore the possibilities of improving crisis management across borders.*** 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 ------------------------------
