Handbook on volcanic crises management
WOVO would like to announce a new Handbook on volcanic crises management
Within the European MIA VITA project (Mitigate and Assess risk from Volcanic Impact on Terrain and human Activities) coordinated by Dr. P. Thierry from BRGM (France), a new “HANDBOOK FOR VOLCANIC RISK MANAGEMENT. Prevention, crisis management and resilience” has been produced.
The handbook, available for free at http://miavita.brgm.fr/, is mainly addressed to civil protection stakeholders, scientists and all the Institutions/people that deal with the management of volcanic crisis. It is particularly oriented towards developing countries, but it contains useful insights for developed countries, too.
