Forecasting tephra fall building impacts and losses at Awu volcano, Sangihe Island (Indonesia)
Moving beyond volcanic hazard assessment to forecast how hazards affect communities provides valuable information for risk mitigation. Awu, a remote volcano on Sangihe Besar Island, Indonesia, is currently experiencing unrest (December 2025). With the entire population living within 45 km of the volcano, there is a need for actionable risk information. We integrated probabilistic tephra fall hazard analysis with building exposure and vulnerabilit…
High-impact low-probability events
Due to their rarity, large-magnitude hazards are often ignored in disaster risk analysis, leaving societies with unmitigated exposure and limited preparedness. Volcanic eruptions of Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) 7 magnitude occur once or twice per millennium, with the last in 1815. Due to increasing populations and interdependent infrastructure, such an event happening today would be catastrophic. Assessing exposure is challenging due to the l…
Developing empirical fragility functions for lava flow building damage
Fragility functions are vital tools in volcanic risk assessments to evaluate the probability of damage to structures at given hazard intensities. Traditionally, lava flow damage is assumed to be binary , whereby in contact with lava results in complete destruction and not in contact with lava remains undamaged. However, past studies present examples of structures exhibiting resistance to lava and not destruction . Developing empirical fragility f…
Quantitative impact assessment of the 2019 tropical cyclone Kammuri lahars
Lahars (volcanic mudflows) are frequent occurrences in communities near active Philippine volcanoes due to intense and prolonged rainfall. Mayon Volcano is the most active volcano in the Philippines, ejecting pyroclastic deposits that serve as erodible materials for lahars. Damaging lahars have occurred in the past, with the more recent ones in 2006, 2015, 2019 and 2020 posing impacts such as erosion, burial, and flash flooding in low-lying areas…
Defining population socio-economic characteristics, hazard knowledge and risk perception
Data schemas for multiple hazards, exposure and vulnerability
Purpose Using risk-related data often require a significant amount of upfront work to collect, extract and transform data. In addition, the lack of a consistent data structure hinders the development of tools that can be used with more than one set of data. The purpose of this paper is to report on an effort to solve these problems through the development of extensible, internally consistent schemas for risk-related data. Design/methodology/appro…
Global Volcanic Hazards and Risk
Originally prepared for the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, this is the first comprehensive assessment of global volcanic hazards and risk, presenting the state of the art in our understanding of global volcanic activity. It examines our assessment and management capabilities, and considers the preparedness of the global scientific community and government agencies to manage volcanic hazards and risk. Particular attention is pa…
