4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 From: Julie Morin <jmm266@xxxxxxxxx> Please consider submitting your abstracts to the session 424 > â??*Scientific-operational interface in volcanic crisis management: integrating national and international contributions*â?? for the next COV conference in Antigua, Guatemala, Feb 11-17, 2024. *Talks and posters** are welcome.* *Session 424 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 â??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 should be enriched by taking into account the diversity of contexts (legislative, institutional, environmentalâ?¦) 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 around high magnitude events with low probability of occurrence or very localized events, which can be difficult to assess and monitor scientifically, and impossible for authorities to manage without a crisis or even a disaster developing. Another under-researched yet essential aspect of this field is the study of the joint work required between scientists and authorities to get communities to evacuate at optimal temporal and spatial scales. We welcome presentations from volcano observatory scientists, researchers, and practitioners. They may include feedback from actual crises, evacuations or exercises/trainings, as well as tools and protocols (to be) developed to facilitate transdisciplinary cooperation and communication in joint risk assessment/mitigation, and crisis management. We also welcome presentations on other types of hazards which, having considered the specificities of volcanic crises, propose 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 welcome, in order to explore the possibilities of improving crisis management across borders. The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion composed of the conveners. *Deadline for abstract submission is October 8**: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://on-line-form.eu/iavceivolcano2023/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!c9rs7OJGCf7Dy6pizHNrD4FGWhqIJeqFJP1bybmOz_LRF1PhRgfHxPxft4Krx7uh-cDIQe4_IiwM8WkL$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://on-line-form.eu/iavceivolcano2023/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!aKghC1OLiH-930cxADuDCorqMUmXu71ijfInjApYtVtVvJyYcTNl_XNFx8LKUWBnqcBUBIckYjioWn0$>* Contact: jmm266@xxxxxxxxx We hope to see you in Antigua!
