1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Antonio Colombi <Antonio.Colombi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Dear all, We have the pleasure of inviting you to submit your contribution to our session â??*Volcanic risk management: lessons learnt and open questions from recent volcanic* *crises*â?? which we are organizing at the Rittman Conference, Catania (18-20 October 2024, https://www.conferenzarittmann.it/sessioni/sessioni.html <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.conferenzarittmann.it/sessioni/sessioni.html__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!cRut76BRtpRBNz5q1XLQGOu8qmxpR1KYV5QbXKB312GRWTd1ubQO9riRutL8AaSzHng5PC2p6eS4VC4sTtjJ-1EIBGsnVO3uJjC_tuzc$> ). The session (in continuity with the two presented in 2022 and unified for this Conference) proposes to discuss volcanic crises, with particular attention to recent events such as those on the island of La Palma (Spain), the Reykjanes peninsula (Iceland), and the island of Vulcano and Campi Flegrei (Italy), where the population has been variably affected by both temporary to permanent evacuation and in some cases by an important economic impact. The main topics of this session include the share of experience and discussion on how civil protection authorities and scientific bodies have acted to ensure appropriate volcano monitoring during long-lasting events as well as how the hazards have been communicated to different stakeholders, and to the population during and after the crises. More in general the session is aimed at highlighting which are the lessons learned in the field of the interactions between scientists and decision-makers that can help civil protection authorities to be better prepared to deal with future crises. The session intends to allocate appropriate space for oral presentations to favour an open discussion on the latest tools in the field of risk management, but also the most recent progress for the definition of risk scenarios and alert levels, all aimed at improving our management capacity to mitigate the volcanic risk in densely populated areas. Deadline for abstract submission:* 15 May 2024 * Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions and forward this announcement to your colleagues who may be interested. Thank you very much and best regards, Antonio Colombi 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 ------------------------------
