However, if it had been possible to issue a warning when the precursory activity increased on the day of the 2014 eruption, it is unlikely that it would have resulted in no fatalities. As the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption showed, volcanoes pose significant threats to U.S. communities.

Stromboli, and Yasur) have frequent ballistic-producing eruptions that provide an attraction to tourists and employment for the local community. 2012). Large-sized tephra typically falls back to the ground on or close to the volcano and progressively smaller fragments are carried away from the vent by wind. 2013; Turtle et al. are a special kind of tephra. Here, we review the research to date on ballistic distributions, impacts, hazard and risk assessments and maps, and methods of communicating and managing ballistic risk including how these change with a changing risk environment. Tephra Falls and Ballistic Projectiles TEPHRA FALLS TEPHRA FALLS TEPHRA FALLS - refers to volcanic rock and lava materials that are ejected into the air by explosions or carried upward by the eruption column's hot gases or lava fountains. Longer periods of precursory activity allow time for warnings to be issued. Ontake (Kaneko et al. Potential hazards posed by U.S. volcanoes include tephra falls, pyroclastic flows and surges, VOG, ballistic projectiles, lahar and lava flows. Though work has been completed on ballistic hazard (e.g., mapping deposits, better understanding eruption dynamics and the factors that influence ballistic distribution, recording particle velocities, the creation and use of ballistic trajectory models, and the production of hazard maps either focussed solely on ballistics or as an aspect of a multi-hazard map), very little has been focussed on the management of ballistic risk, leaving a large knowledge gap and a need for research in this area. Fallout deposits are usually well-sorted (e.g., they are made up of particles that are roughly the same size) and commonly may show layering or be bedded. 2010; Houghton et al. It is the process wherein wet cement-like mixture of volcanic material and water flows down the slopes of volcano. Bombs. Being wintertime, there was very little use of the track. In addition, population growth in many volcanic regions means increasing numbers of people are settling closer to and on volcanoes (Small and Naumann 2001; Ewart and Harpel 2004). This map was distributed to local citizens and posted around the volcano. Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) and lava flows are not included in a hazard zone but are mentioned as a possibility in all valleys. Alatorre-Ibargengoitia et al. 2012; Gurioli et al.

These methods typically fall under four aspects of emergency management: Mitigation (Reduction), Preparedness, Response and Recovery (UNISDR 2009). Ballistic communication strategies will also vary with eruption frequency, the risk context (quiescence or crisis; Fig. 2014b). maximum travel distance, spatial density of impacts) and no advice accompanies the hazard map, though a residents handbook was printed that included examples of what ballistics are and how far they can travel.

Tephra falls skip hugging the slope and go directly to the ground. The May 18, 1980 tephra plume lasted for about eight hours and the plume top ranged from 14-18 km (8.5-11 mi) high. ff). Hurtling through the air at speeds reaching hundreds of metres per second, they travel in parabolic arcs and are capable of striking ground up to .

Correspondence to 2010). Meetings and consultations with local communities, emergency managers and other stakeholders should also occur during and following volcanic crises. They should be constantly refined and improved as new information becomes available. Most tephra falls back onto the slopes of the volcano, enlarging it. Following the 2014 eruption they have combined to form one commission for the entire volcano, improving communication between the prefectures and subsequently to the public. Wind above the stratosphere has a _______________ pattern that could be quite different from that in the troposphere. Ballistic hazard assessments determine the likelihood of ballistic-producing eruptions and the areas that may be impacted (Thouret et al. Two risk zones are assigned (moderate and high) based on the statement that ballistics generally land within 5km of the vent, but sometimes up to 10km. Ballistics are not a hazard in isolation. J Volcanol Geoth Res 286:348366, Maeno F, Nakada S, Nagai M, Kozono T (2013) Ballistic ejecta and eruption condition of the vulcanian explosion of Shinmoedake volcano, Kyushu, Japan on 1 February, 2011. Volcanic alert levels (VALs) and bulletins are posted on the Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-Hazards Department (VMGD) website when the behaviour of the volcano changes. Tephra. 2014b), or by reducing exposure by limiting the time spent or number of individuals allowed within a zone (Bertolaso et al. _ypks jn _kpbrg Nglls gio Hgllestec ]rjakctelks. Probabilities were re-assessed every week immediately after eruption, which was subsequently extended to every month, then every three months as time passed. 2012; Maeno et al. Many visitors to the TAC still assume that they do not need to be concerned because they expect the area to be closed if it is unsafe or to be advised it was unsafe (Keys 2015). (2014b) became an important tool for making decisions about reopening. Anyone you share the following link with will be able to read this content: Sorry, a shareable link is not currently available for this article. The eruption was largely unexpected with 11min of precursory tremor, and uplift detected only seven minutes before the event (Ui 2015). Neglect all losses. The directionality of these blasts is often unpredictable, and can be influenced by external factors such as landslides (Christiansen 1980; Breard et al. http://info.geonet.org.nz/download/attachments/8585571/Tongariro_Poster_A4.pdf. . Carbon dioxide emissions are now being monitored In terms of ballistics this includes the completion of ballistic hazard and risk assessments; volcano monitoring and research; land-use and building planning i.e. Accessed 18 Oct 2015, Keys HJR, Green PM (2010) Mitigation of volcanic risks at Mt Ruapehu, New Zealand. Both prefectures have developed hazard maps for two eruption scenarios that include ballisticsthe first a phreatic eruption similar in size to the 1979 eruption (VEI 2) and the second a larger eruption on the scale of 90,00020,000year recurrence interval (Nagano hazard map: http://vivaweb2.bosai.go.jp/v-hazard/L_read/53ontakesan/53ontake_2h03-L.pdf; Gifu hazard map: http://vivaweb2.bosai.go.jp/v-hazard/L_read/53ontakesan/53ontake_2h01-L.pdf). As ash clouds drifted over eastern Washington, a rain of ash covered homes, farms, and roads to a depth up to four-inches. In addition, further research has been completed on the ballistic hazard produced in the eruption. The ongoing work by Odbert et al. Funding for this study was provided by DeVoRA (Determining Volcanic Risk in Auckland) and a New Zealand Earthquake Commission (EQC) Biennial Grant (16/727). 2012; Maeno et al. However, the report may not have been suitable or communicated well to the local municipalities responsible for disaster management as these recommendations were not adopted prior to the 2014 eruption, indicating the need for communication to ensure the information is relevant, understood and acted upon (Barclay et al. a. Organisational and governance frameworks to allow and facilitate this seem to be highly variable globally, but some relatively successful examples do exist (e.g. Report of a workshop 24 September 2013. It is a synonym for "pyroclastic material." Tephra ranges in size from ash (<2 mm) to lapilli (2-64 mm) to blocks and bombs (>64 mm). by (1) the force of impact of falling fragments, but this occurs only 2014). Prior to the eruption, Gifu and Nagano prefectures had separate commissions to manage volcanic activity from Mt. 2008; Bird et al. The 27 September 2014 phreatic eruption occurred at lunchtime on a busy autumn day when ~340 hikers were on the mountain (Tsunematsu et al. Fifty-eight people were killed in the eruption, 55 most likely the result of ballistic trauma relatively close to the summit, with five still missing (as of 24 June 2016; Tsunematsu et al. The major hazards associated with eruption oftephraresult from suspension of the abrasive, fine particles in the air and water, burial of transportation routes and vegetation, and loading on roofs or other structures. In November 2015, a new hazard map was released by the Ontakesan Volcano Disaster Prevention Council (the combined commission mentioned previously). Effective communication is an essential component of this. In many instances, it may not be possible or warranted to complete all of the steps involved in an ideal risk assessment. On May 18, 1980,Mount St. Helenssent an enormous column of volcanicashand gas more than 80,000 feet into the air in less than 15 minutes.

Map design should also take into account the effect of map properties on communication (understanding/comprehension) such asdata classification, basemap or image, colour scheme(e.g. 2012). Hazard extent was considered for ballistics and PDCs for each scenario, exposure time along the impacted area, and the vulnerability (probability of fatality) of an individual to each hazard (using the area of hazard around an individual impact for ballistics, and the presence of a person in the path of a PDC), to calculate the combined risk of fatality for all scenarios (Jolly et al. Fragments planning and preparation. Instead ballistics are typically included in all-hazard or multi-hazard maps (Fig. Another frequently active volcano in which ballistics are a major hazard is Sakurajima Volcano, Japan. Many volcanoes are tourist destinations with associated tourist facilities such as ski fields, accommodation and walking tracks (Erfurt-Cooper 2011).

An English version of the map is available in addition to the original in Japanese. A volcano in Indonesia and is known as the volcano with biggest eruption in history. However, tourism staff may also be somewhat transient, meaning that they may need to be regularly educated, trained or updated on volcanic hazards, appropriate responses and emergency procedures so that they can pass the message down to their patrons (Leonard et al. Zonation is generally used as a means to distinguish areas of hazard, exposure, vulnerability and risk (Sparks et al. It is a synonym for "pyroclastic material." Tephra ranges in size from ash (2 mm) to lapilli (2-64 mm) to blocks and bombs (>64 mm). 2014a). Glacier melting produced by a ballistic missile is a function of the potential and kinetic energy involved from the moment of ejection of the projectile at the crater, until its impact on the glacier (see Delgado-Granados et al., 2007). Influences the distribution of tephra falling out of the eruption cloud. TheVolcanic Ash webpagesare intended to help people prepare and recover from volcanic ashfall. Fig. Hikers chose to take images and video of the eruption instead of finding shelter. http://info.geonet.org.nz/download/attachments/8585571/Northern_Tongariro_eruption_phenomena.pdf. Ballistic projectiles Ballistic projectiles are rocks that an erupting volcano may hurl into the air. 2016). Ballistics (called cinders) are additionally listed on the site as a possible volcanic hazard accompanied by a description, particle size and travel distance. They often rely on tourism operators/employees/guides to inform them of volcanic hazards and the correct actions to take in an eruption (Leonard et al. To prepare for a future eruption from Sakurajima, Tarumizu City (Kagoshima Prefecture) runs an emergency response exercise every year (http://www.city.tarumizu.lg.jp/kikikanri/kurashi/bosai/bosai/taisaku/sakurajima.html). carrying of noxious gases, acids, salts, and, close to the vent, heat.

Appropriate risk management actions by stakeholders, emergency managers and the public require an adequate perception of the risk and the correct actions to take in a crisis, with perception dependent on the hazard information received and exposure to impacts (Johnston et al. vy0=7gt0, t0=4dght_0=\dfrac{4\cdot d}{\sqrt{g\cdot h}} Accessed Mar 2015, Vanuatu Geohazards Observatory (2014) Vanuatu Monitoring Network (20122014). change rainfall/runoff relationships. Secondly, signs instructing people on the distance and direction to the nearest eruption safe house and evacuation port have been posted around the volcano. Multiple zones of different impact intensity may be shown (e.g. In the case of a volcano in a state of unrest, assessments may be limited by the availability of safe locations to survey, and this is especially likely once an eruption episode has commenced as evident during the 2012 Upper Te Maari, Tongariro eruptions and assessments presented later.
