- Management for Volcanoes and Earthquakes
- 1.Prediction
- Monitoring seismic movement, Ground deformation, water levels, Gas emissions, Heat detection for volcanoes, Unusual animal behavior
- Allows early warning systems and increased potential for safe evacuation
- Easier for volcanoes than EQ-strike without warning, immediate imacts, very short response time.
- Allows early warning systems and increased potential for safe evacuation
- Monitoring seismic movement, Ground deformation, water levels, Gas emissions, Heat detection for volcanoes, Unusual animal behavior
- 2. Protection
- Aseismic Building
- Buildings and infrastructure designed to withstand ground shaking or ash fall (v.important for hospitals, schools, fire stations)
- Retrofitting
- Planning regulations can be used to enforce resistant building, also retrofitting homes and buildings
- Planning
- Planners modify existing settlements and design new settlements to have safe zones
- Community Prepardness
- Disaster Plans-protecting people, Invest in emergency services, Education and Awareness, Communication
- Insurance
- Reducing Losses-buildings, businesses and possessions
- Reinforced concrete channels to direct lava flows, Lahar Channels and draining crater lates
- Flood defenses for tsunamis
- Aseismic Building
- 3.Response
- Aid: Relief, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction
- Search and Rescue
- Emergency Shelter and Feeding
- Removal of Rubble
- Restore Vital Services
- Aid: Relief, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction
- 1.Prediction
