Natural Hazard Management

Natural hazard management, particularly in the context of volcanology, involves assessing, monitoring, and mitigating the risks posed by volcanic eruptions. This process includes studying past volcanic activity, using technology to track warning signs like gas emissions or seismic activity, and planning emergency response strategies for affected communities. The goal is to minimize damage, ensure public safety, and enhance resilience through education and preparedness. Collaboration between scientists, government agencies, and local populations is crucial to effectively manage the threats and activities of volcanoes, helping communities respond swiftly and effectively when an eruption occurs.
