Volcanic Risk Assessment

Volcanic risk assessment is a process that evaluates the likelihood of a volcanic eruption and its potential impacts on people, property, and the environment. It involves studying the volcano's history, monitoring signs of activity, and mapping areas that could be affected. This helps communities and authorities understand the level of danger and develop plans to reduce harm, such as evacuation routes or exclusion zones. The goal is to make informed decisions that protect lives and minimize damage while respecting the natural behavior of volcanoes.
