3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 From: Erouscilla Joseph <Erouscilla.Joseph@xxxxxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to session â??Long-term engagement and interaction between civil authorities and volcano observatories: opportunities and lessons learntâ?? under the Theme: From Volcano Monitoring and Hazard Assessment to Risk Management at the Cities on Volcanos 12, in Antigua Guatemala (11 â?? 17 February 2024). The intent of this session is to share successes and failures in engagement strategies between civil authorities and volcano observatories. Topics to be explored in this session include the impact of long-term relationships between emergency managers and volcano observatories, the use of joint exercises to build collaboration and coordination, the role of technology in improving communication, and the development of shared language and understanding. The session will also cover lessons learned from past volcanic events, including examples of successful responses and areas for improvement. The session will be of particular interest to civil authorities, emergency managers, scientists, and policymakers involved in managing volcanic risks and developing partnerships between emergency managers and volcano observatories. We welcome contributions that provide insight into volcanic planning for emergency response. Best Regards, Erouscilla Joseph, Nicolas Fournier, Nemesio M. Pérez, Silvana Hidalgo, Angela Doherty, Richard Robertson, Stacey Edwards 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 ------------------------------
