Many more people have been injured as a result of ballistic impacts, frequently suffering from blunt force trauma (broken bones), lacerations, burns, abrasions and bruising (Blong 1984; Baxter and Gresham 1997). 2009). Communication delivered jointly by scientists and the local community is also advisable as community members may be better trusted and better communicators to their community than scientists in isolation. Geophysica, 317330, Pomonis A, Spence R, Baxter P (1999) Risk assessment of residential buildings for an eruption of Furnas Volcano, Sao Miguel, the Azores. Ballistic projectiles ejected in explosive eruptions present a major proximal hazard to life, infrastructure and the environment. Establishing this context and identifying potential risks requires engagement with potential stakeholders, such as those which may be exposed or affected by ballistic, or other, volcanic hazards. On the 6th August 2012, Upper Te Maari Crater, one of the many vents on Tongariro volcano, New Zealand, erupted for the first time in over 100years (Scott and Potter 2014). 2014). 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive Reston, VA 20192, View three different computer-generated ash-cloud simulations. This creates an increasing demand for ballistic hazard and risk assessments coupled with effective communication strategies to manage ballistic risk at volcanoes. As ash clouds drifted over eastern Washington, a rain of ash covered homes, farms, and roads to a depth up to four-inches. 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive Reston, VA 20192. We summarise the three that could be found. 2007). How to manage future risk, particularly for volcanoes where there is significant existing use and/or strong pressure to utilise the resources through tourism (increasing visitor numbers to high risk areas), and agricultural and settlement pressure from population growth. Lahar deposits formed from hyperconcentrated streamflows. This map was distributed to local citizens and posted around the volcano. Ballistics at these constantly erupting volcanoes provide tangible hazards that the community can both relate to and provide valuable observational data on. 2013; Turtle et al. A new, event-specific Te Maari hazard map was created using mapped deposits and the most likely hazard scenarios, in which the main hazard zone was increased to a 3km radius (choosing the larger potential radius based on historic events) down-slope and deliberately renamed the Active Volcanic Hazard Zone (AVHZ) to distinguish it from the former map (Fig. J Volcanol Geoth Res 231232:111, The Japan News 26/10/2014. Once the level of risk has been assessed it can be used as the robust basis for risk management strategies, such as exclusion zones, hazard/risk maps and signs, and land-use planning. The Stromboli Volcano: an integrated study of the 20022003 eruption. Following the eruption, the Volcanic Alert Level was increased to 3, warning people not to approach the volcano (as access was restricted), and that blocks may be ejected up to 1km from vent (based on previous eruptions). 2014; Tsunematsu et al.

Academic Press, Orlando, Blong RJ (1996) Volcanic hazards risk assessment. The publics response to volcanic hazard communication is influenced by the content and attractiveness of the message (which should include a description of the hazard, its impacts, hazard extent, and advice on what to do and when), how comprehensible it is, and the frequency and number of channels the message is received from, as well as the extent of public belief that safety actions are possible and will be effective (Leonard et al. 2014b), or by reducing exposure by limiting the time spent or number of individuals allowed within a zone (Bertolaso et al. 2008; Bird et al. GNS Science Report 2006/7 38p, Coombs ML, McGimsey RG, Browne BL (2008) Preliminary volcano-hazard assessment for Gareloi Volcano, Gareloi Island. 2013; Breard et al. Organisational and governance frameworks to allow and facilitate this seem to be highly variable globally, but some relatively successful examples do exist (e.g. 2010; Jolly et al. Ballistic projectiles are the most frequently lethal volcanic hazard close to the vent. The study only considers one eruption (the last major eruption), thus is lacking eruption frequency and magnitude, and does not provide any probabilities of building damage occurring. 2008; Swanson et al. Many visitors to the TAC still assume that they do not need to be concerned because they expect the area to be closed if it is unsafe or to be advised it was unsafe (Keys 2015). death, injury, damage) from exposure to ballistics, typically with an associated probability of occurrence (Blong 1996). 2016); the outer edges of a ballistic field (Minakami 1942; Nairn and Self 1978; Yamagishi and Feebrey 1994); and/or maximum particle (Nairn and Self 1978; Steinberg and Lorenz 1983; Robertson et al.

Additionally, community engagement and participation in meetings with scientists and managers is encouraged as a means of risk communication, and discussion around management strategies, especially for communities at risk (i.e. This way the information would be reinforced with visits to different volcanoes and increase the likelihood of visitors acting correctly. BALLISTIC PROJECTILES BALLISTIC PROJECTILES. The objectives of such meetings are to update communities on the evolving eruptive hazards, build relationships and trust, reduce any miscommunication or misinformation passed along, and to make sure the information being presented is what the end-members need (Barclay et al. 2014b). Mammoth Mountain, California. An assessment for a frequently erupting, highly visited volcano where risk management organisations are well resourced will require a different approach compared with an infrequently active, rarely visited volcano in a country where there are few resources available for risk management.

This is a critical issue for managing ballistic risk, as eruptions with longer unrest phases typically allow evacuation of ballistic hazard zones before the eruption. Yasur is visited by much fewer tourists than Ontake so it is unlikely to see as many fatalities from one event as occurred at Ontake, although the lack of shelter, lack of hazard advice, and proximity to the vent means that ballistic casualties are still relatively likely at this volcano. However, ballistic hazard mapping during a crisis can be limited by access restrictions due to the possibility of further eruptions, though as time progresses more detailed mapping is able to be completed (Fitzgerald et al. These assessments also need to be communicated to the public so that they can make informed decisions about the hazard and risk in the area they choose to enter as well as what steps they need to take to protect themselves. Bjwkvkr, prkoecteid wbkrk, Do not sell or share my personal information. transmitters. Zonation is generally used as a means to distinguish areas of hazard, exposure, vulnerability and risk (Sparks et al. It can also trigger lahars directly by melting icecaps and snow. And the 2007 eruption was preceded by inflation and seismicity for three months, accompanied by increasing fumarolic activity the week prior (Japan Meteorological Agency 2013a).

Maps should be updated in a crisis to reflect new information and readily available through a range of media. When it has settled on and near the ground, volcanic ash threatens the health of people and livestock, damages electronics and machinery, and interrupts power generation, water and transportation systems, and telecommunications. Numerous risk management and communication tools have since been adopted. Probabilities were re-assessed every week immediately after eruption, which was subsequently extended to every month, then every three months as time passed. Volcanic ballistics are fragments of lava and rock - ranging in size from a few centimetres to tens of metres in diameter - expelled by explosive eruptions at temperatures reaching over 1000 C. Keep in mind that the next volcanic ash fall that drifts over your community might be from a distant volcano. Ballistic projectiles Ballistic projectiles are rocks that an erupting volcano may hurl into the air. death, injury, damage (Fitzgerald et al. 2012). d. tissue factor. gases adsorbed on the particles as acid aerosols and salt particles.

Accessed 18 Apr 2016, Thompson MA, Lindsay JM, Gaillard JC (2015) The influence of probabilistic volcanic hazard map properties on hazard communication. Signs were posted around the volcano telling people to keep out of the restricted area. This involved a combination of reviewing the eruptive record to understand eruption frequency and magnitude, and expert elicitation by GNS staff (the institute responsible for monitoring volcanoes and assessing their hazard/risk) working closely with the land manager (Department of Conservation) to produce three possible future eruption scenarios (a 21 November size eruption, a 6 August size eruption, and a magnitude larger eruption) and associated probabilities of these occurring. communication lines and damage or kill vegetation. Instead, visitors and stakeholders would have to rely on their knowledge of the potential hazards and the response actions to take, especially if there are no real-time warning systems. Ballistics are not a hazard in isolation. Search and Rescue teams were deployed to rescue the injured hikers and those that sheltered in the buildings at the summit, and to recover the dead.

Correspondence to RHF is also supported by a doctoral scholarship from the Ngi Tahu Research Centre. Successful management of the risk from ballistic hazards typically requires first assessing the level of risk. Hurtling through the air at speeds reaching hundreds of metres per second, they travel in parabolic arcs and are capable of striking ground up to . This may range from the simple recognition that ballistics may endanger people or their activities on a volcano through to a sophisticated quantitative hazard or risk assessment (e.g. Ballistic projectiles are ejected with trajectory angles >45 deg, although there are cases where it is lower than this.

Fallout is another generic term for ash and tephra that falls to the Earth surface from an eruption cloud. _____________________________________________________________________. In a volcanic crisis (when the volcano is showing signs of unrest or is in eruption) communication and emergency management processes and products move toward response (Fig. Earth, Planets Space 68:79, Pardo N, Cronin SJ, Nmeth K, Brenna M, Schipper CI, Breard E, White JDL, Procter J, Stewart B, Agustin-Flores J, Moebis A, Zernack A, Kereszturi G, Lube G, Auer A, Wallace C (2014) Perils in distinguishing phreatic from phreatomagmatic ash; insights into the eruption mechanisms of the 6 August 2012 Mt. 2014). By end of the day, more than 500 million tons of ash had fallen onto parts of Washington, Idaho, and Montana. Half of the people autopsied by one doctor were found with cellphones in hand while one persons camera was found with a photo taken 4 min after the eruption occurred (Mainichi Shimbun 10/10/2014). 2006; Pistolesi et al.
