Volcanic Hazard AssessmentVolcanic Hazard AssessmentEvaluation of volcanic hazards:two main complementary approaches, which may lead to their prediction:
1. Medium- to long term analysis : study of the eruption history of the volcano, volcanic hazard mapping, and modelling.
2. Short term : human surveillance and instrumental monitoring of the volcano (precursory phenomena).

Volcanic Hazard ZoningVolcanic Hazard Zoning
Reconstruction of previous eruptions and quantification of the volume and dispersion of volcanic productsSome very recent eruptions (last 100 years) were studied in detail >> information about the processes responsible for the distribution of the different volcanic products.This also resulted in the development of models of hazardous processes
This information may serve a the base for volcanic hazard zoning

Hazard Zoning: Hazard Zoning: general rulesgeneral rules
The intensity of volcanic phenomena decreases with the distance from the eruptive centre (crater or fissure)Topographic or meteorological factors may modify the progression of the phenomenon, such as the diversion of flows by the morphology.

Volcanic Hazard ZoningVolcanic Hazard Zoning
Zoning of each hazard according to:
the frequency of occurrencethe intensity (e.g. the thickness or extent of
the hazard) or their combination

Frequency scale
Annual frequency : permanent hazard (yearly)Decennial frequency : very high hazard (ten years)Centennial frequency : high hazard (one hundred years)Millennial frequency : low hazard (one thousand years)

IntensityIntensity, e.g. lava flow extension and thickness of ash deposits
Very high intensity : total destruction of population, settlements and vegetation. High intensity : settlements and buildings partial destroyed
: important danger for the populationModerate intensity : partial damage of structure
: population partly exposedLow intensity : no real danger for population
: damage for agriculture: abrasion, corrosion of machinery,tools, etc.

Hazard - vulnerablity - risk
Volcanic hazard maps are fundamental for volcanic hazard mitigation, but the next step is the preparation of volcanic risk maps
Volcanic risk maps 1. Use data from hazard maps2. Incorporate probability of a volcanic event3. Incorporate economic value and activity4. Incorporate vulnerability to destruction

Volcanic Risk MapsVolcanic Risk Maps
Volcanic Risk Maps allow for the calculation of the economic impact of an active volcano in ‘dollar’ termsThese maps are useful for disaster preparedness planning, because the real cost of the impact of a volcanic eruption can be compared with costs of mitigation and monitoring effects.

Monitoring & forecastingMonitoring & forecasting
Most volcanic eruptions are preceded by a variety of environmental changes (‘precursory signs’) which accompany the rise of magma towards the surface
1. Seismic activity2. Ground deformation3. Hydro-thermal phenomena4. Chemical changes
