Etna by using a GIS-based approach that combines simply the hazard with the exposure of elements at stake (the vulnerability was not considered).
The researchers of the TecnoLab assessed the lava flow risk on the flanks of Mt. Etna are becoming more vulnerable to experiencing heavy consequences from volcanic hazard activity. There is no compelling evidence to think that rates and magnitudes of volcanism are changing, but, as a consequence of rising population densities, increasingly sophisticated facilities, and expanding complex social and economic infrastructure, all communities around Mt. A 2013 analysis of lava flow hazards and their distribution around the Etna volcano showed them to be far more dangerous than previously expected.
Etna.ĭespite our knowledge of volcanic hazards and our capability to monitor volcanic activity, the possibility that effusive eruptions of Etna volcano could harm people, properties and services is greater today than ever before. Thus, the researchers of the Laboratory of Technologies for Volcanology (TecnoLab) at the INGV in Catania assessed and mapped hazard, exposure, and risk for providing a basic broad overview of the potential effusive eruption impacts on the flanks of Mt.
