International Volcanic Health Hazard Network (IVHHN)

The International Volcanic Health Hazard Network (IVHHN) is a global initiative that focuses on assessing and managing health risks posed by volcanic eruptions. It brings together scientists, health professionals, and emergency responders to monitor volcanic activity and its effects on air quality and public health. The network provides guidelines and resources to help communities prepare for and respond to volcanic hazards, such as ashfall and toxic gases. By sharing knowledge and expertise, the IVHHN aims to reduce health impacts, improve safety, and support effective responses during volcanic crises worldwide.
