Volcanic Hazard Mapping Project

University of Edinburgh & MapAction: Volcanic Hazard Mapping Project Presenting volcanic hazard maps to be useful, usable, and used Generating hazard maps for potentially active volcanoes is recognized as a fundamental step towards mitigation of risk to vulnerable communities. Hazard maps are communication tools, and although they are simplified, their content embodies a wealth of information about a given volcano. However, hazard maps are most commonly presented as large format paper maps, and/or available digitally to download. These methods to communicate, and distribute this knowledge are now a limiting factor in their usefulness. In June 2018 we collaborated with the charity MapAction to generate the first ever 3D interactive web map for hazards at a volcano. We trailed this approach with Fuego volcano in Guatemala after an eruption. The web map was visited over 26,000 times in two months. It was used by emergency managers, local government, NGOS and the public. Volcanic hazard information in this format is democratised, and the usage of the map was simply unprecedented. In this project we want to combine our NERC project – which hinges on improving simulation tools used in making hazard maps, and our collaborations with MapAction, to develop on our experience with the Fuego map to generate a suite of new 3D interactive web maps for 18 volcanoes around the world.
