Volunteer Observers Program: a tool for monitoring volcanic and seismic events in the Philippinesptions and destructive earthquakes are to be expected. One of the main objectives in the creation of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) was the mitigation of the effects of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes through prediction and prompt warning..The Philippines lacks

Monitoring and warning of volcanic eruptions by remote sensingand geophysical survey programmes. Data from satellites can be used to monitor volcanic activity in these regions, and in some cases to give prior warning of eruptions. Three aspects of volcanism can be measured in this way: 1) movement of eruption plumes, which is relevant to fall-out hazards and a

Volcanic hazards in Colombia and Indonesia: lahars and related phenomenaated rural areas and urban settlements on the lower slopes of volcanoes. The mechanisms of lahar development and their various types, such as “hot” lahars associated with pyroclastic flows, “cold” or rain-fed lahars, and lahars caused by emptying of crater lakes or melting of snow and ice covering t

Lahars of Cotopaxi Volcano, Ecuador: hazard and risk evaluatione early 1500s. Lahars generated by eruptions have swept through the surrounding populated valleys on numerous occasions, but the volcano has largely been quiescent since 1877. Despite this, the volcano is under continual monitoring at the present time, and both scientific and civil defense activitie

Seismic monitoring of Lake Nyos, Cameroon, following the gas release disaster of August 1986es. An international relief effort was initiated and scientific teams from a number of countries were sent to Lake Nyos in order to determine the cause of the gas release. It was agreed that the carbon dioxide, which was the predominant gas in the cloud, had a deep-seated magmatic origin and that th

The ROA , project: recent work from the Middle Eastoncerning exposure to earthquake hazard, presenting standardised data in a format that enables them to be accessed and incorporated into hazard and risk assessments with relative ease, and hopefully ensures their usefulness to a wide range of people..This paper provides an overview of the project an

Some implications of the 1985 Mexican earthquake for hazard assessmentthat it provided massive quantities of data concerning seismic effects and earthquake damage. Every opportunity should be taken to incorporate the findings from these data into earthquake hazard and risk assessments. The purpose of this paper is to summarise some important lessons from the earthquak

Landslide hazard assessment in the context of development occurrence but rarely disastrous, so that impacts are frequent, small-scale and undramatic; their cumulative effect is therefore rarely appreciated within the burden of ‘natural tax’..Examples from southern Italy are used to illustrate the potential significance of the landslide hazard. The reasons
