Title: | From Multi-Hazard to Multi-Risk at Mount Etna: Approaches and Strategies of the PANACEA Project | Publisher: | Springer | Issue Date: | Apr-2023 | URL: | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-25042-2_7 | ISBN: | 978-3031250415 | Keywords: | volcanic eruptions earthquakes cascading hazards vulnerability damage |
Subject Classification: | 05.08. Risk | Abstract: | The management of multiple hazards simultaneously impacting on a territory is a challenge for effective risk mitigation. This is particularly true on active volcanoes like Mt. Etna, characterized by effusive and explosive eruptions, often coupled with an intense seismic activity. This work aims at presenting the approach of the PANACEA project on the treatment of multi-hazards in terms of risk, which requires a common definition of the exposed elements and their vulnerability. Another aspect emerging from the recent and historical volcanic crises at Etna, is the occurrence of cascading effects and the problem of assessing their short-term interactions. Here we present a risk model taking into account a set of sequences of hazardous events which may result from a volcano unrest to possible impacts to some infrastructural elements. The outcomes of the project are intended to be a significant step towards a more comprehensive resilience to volcanic disasters, leading to a more safe society. |
