Towards a Multi-Hazard Assessment at Etna Volcano (Italy): The PANACEA Project

Azores

This work presents the first results of the PANACEA project regarding the assessment of different volcano-related hazards at Mt. Etna (lava and pyroclastic flows, tephra fallout and earthquakes) by exploiting data
deriving from the volcano’s history with accurate physical–mathematical models. Volcano-related hazards are
distributed differently on Etna—from the deserted summit area down to the densely populated flanks—but must be considered together for long-term territorial planning.
