Objective
In the last few decades the population worldwide has become concentrated in age conurbations at high risk from volcanic disasters. The most serious hazards are represented by the occurrence of pyroclastic flows and tephra fallout at European cities on explosive volcanoes and volcanic islands. Whatever the policy to mitigate such a huge risk might be, quantification of risk in association with a range of eruption scenarios, their impact, and mitigation are the fundamental priorities. This project addresses these critical issues by advancing critical scientific and technological facilities (i.e. the infrastructures), needed in volcanic risk assessment and mitigation, such as the computer models to simulate the process dynamics, the vulnerability databases, and the probabilistic risk assessment protocol. The project also aims to apply these facilities to those European volcanoes at high risk Vesuvius, Soufriere, Sete Cidades, Teide) so that they become a technology platform for exploitation at volcanoes throughout the world capable of supporting officials in deciding development and planning priorities as well as decision making in volcanic crises.
