Tourists spend only a short amount of time in areas (hours to weeks) and often have little knowledge of the hazards or the available protection resources (Murphy and Bayley 1989; Drabek 1995; Burby and Wagner 1996; Bird et al. 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. 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. 2016).

When activity changes, alert levels are posted on the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) website for the public to view. Tephrochronology is a geochronological technique that uses discrete layers of tephravolcanic ash from a single eruptionto create a chronological framework in which paleoenvironmental or archaeological records . This was distributed to the media (print, television, web and radio) to inform a wider audience (Leonard et al. Bull Volc 35:383401, Geological Survey of Japan (2013) Sakurajima Volcano, 2nd edn. Additionally, all of these volcanoes are relatively accessible and attract large numbers of tourists each year. 2016). b Signs advising area of increased hazard including a track-specific AVHZ hazard map. Ballistic projectiles are a risk to life on active volcanoes and can cause substantial damage to exposed infrastructure and the environment due to their high kinetic energy, mass, and often high temperatures (Blong 1984). 2012), number of ballistic impacts per unit area (Gurioli et al. and walls, designing filters for machinery, wearing respirators or wet 2016). Ballistics are the main hazard produced by these eruptions, responsible for multiple fatalities in the past (Baxter and Gresham 1997). The maps and handbooks are available on the NIED database and the prefectural government websites, though the map is not signposted around the volcano. JMA released warnings prior to the 1991 and 2007 events, although the resulting eruptions were very small, only impacted the immediate area and occurred in winter outside the climbing season (Japan Meteorological Agency 2013a). 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). Geology 39(3):263266, Japan Meteorological Agency (2013a) 53 Ontakesan. However, eruptions can be directed, ejecting ballistics at low angles and at distances greater than those from more vertically directed eruptions (Fitzgerald et al. 2014). Once the level of risk has been assessed it can be used as the robust basis for risk management strategies, such as exclusion zones, hazard/risk maps and signs, and land-use planning.

For example, where frequent Strombolian eruptions are the main source of ballistics, it may be possible to watch the low velocity ballistics and move out of their path. 1999, 2000; Paton et al. The bottom of the channel drops over a short length a distance of 3ft3~\mathrm{ft}3ft. (2014b) became an important tool for making decisions about reopening. The term tephra defines all pieces of all fragments of rock ejected into the air by an erupting volcano. In: Zschau J, Kuppers AN (eds) Early warning systems for natural disaster reduction. It can reduce visibility to zero and turn day to night by blocking sunlight. Neither a deterministic or probabilistic approach was taken, instead a value was adopted from other eruptions around the world. greater than 10 cm depth, (3) producing suspensions of fine-grained (2015) have been developing updateable hazard forecast estimates using Bayesian belief networks, which may help to improve rapid hazard assessments in times of crisis. 2014). Additionally, education material such as pamphlets and hazard maps on volcanic hazards should not only be available at tourism businesses but mechanisms should be in place that ensure that the hazard information is relayed to these transient populations. The assessment should be made available to relevant decision makers, with the authors and science advisors available to advise or answer questions about the assessments. incineration and crushing from impacts. deposits leads to increased runoff, accelerated erosion, stream-channel during a certain time t0t_0t0, the particle horizontally displaces a distance ddd (rightward), and vertically displaces a distance hhh (downward). gases adsorbed on the particles as acid aerosols and salt particles. electric-transmission facilities, telephone lines, radio and television It refers to volcanic rock and lava materials that are ejected into the air by explosions or carried upward by erruption column's hot gases or lava fountains.

Accessed Jul 21 2015, NIED (1980) Field report of the disaster from Ontake 1979 eruption. Personal safety measures taken by exposed hikers saved lives. In the build-up to the eruption, a decision was made to complete response plans and create a crisis hazard map initially for the whole volcanic massif with some focus on the northern flank of Tongariro. Ontake risks reported in 1979. http://the-japan-news.com/news/article/0001673442. They also need to be focussed on the range of scenarios presenting the risk in that crisis (e.g. Geol Soc Am Bull 112:720726, Jolly AD, Jousset P, Lyons JJ, Carniel R, Fournier N, Fry B, Miller C (2014a) Seismo-acoustic evidence for an avalanche driven phreatic eruption through a beheaded hydrothermal system: An example from the 2012 Tongariro eruption. This study, however, focussed only on the vulnerability of the built environment and did not include an overall assessment of hazard or risk. 2). Multiple zones of different impact intensity may be shown (e.g. - attains smoothness and peculiar shapes before they fall to the ground, <2 mm diameter fragments 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. What is the total mechanical energy of this atom? - Bigger pumice fragments are lapilli mixed with finer ash, Pele's Tears ; 2007). Studies of these deposits reveal that we should anticipate potential hazards from some phenomena that only occur during eruptions and from others that may occur without eruptive activity. Successful management of ballistic risk requires effective engagement (of which communication is a keystone) between authorities responsible for managing risk at volcanoes, those people and organisations who may have economic, cultural and social connections with a volcano, and the scientific community who can help inform hazard and (sometimes) risk considerations. 2011). Potential hazards posed by U.S. volcanoes include tephra falls, pyroclastic flows and surges, VOG, ballistic projectiles, lahar and lava flows. Building vulnerability to ballistic impact has been assessed by Jenkins et al. Many volcanoes are tourist destinations with associated tourist facilities such as ski fields, accommodation and walking tracks (Erfurt-Cooper 2011). Volcanic ballistic projectiles are amongst the most frequent causes of fatal incidents on volcanoes, with at least 76 recorded deaths at six volcanoes (Galeras, Yasur, Popocatepetl, Pacaya, Raoul Island and Ontake) since 1993 (Baxter and Gresham 1997; Cole et al. In both maps, ballistic hazard is defined by a 4km asymmetric zone around an asymmetric vent area encompassing the 1979 ventsthe same vents that erupted in the 1991 and 2007 eruptions. Most tephra falls back onto the slopes of the volcano, enlarging it. Recent eruptions of Ontake in 2014 and Kusatsu-Shirane in 2018 showed that un-reinforced, timber-framed buildings - those typically considered highly vulnerable to the dangerous penetration of ballistics - provided life-saving shelter from ballistic impact. (2016) and delineated into four zones. Briefing those new to the area, especially the transient visitor, may be the biggest challenge. Search and Rescue teams were deployed to rescue the injured hikers and those that sheltered in the buildings at the summit, and to recover the dead. 2012; Wardman et al. Calculate the two possible depths of flow after the drop. Effective ballistic risk assessment requires greater understanding of (a) the distribution of ballistic from a range of potential eruption styles, (b) the impact of ballistics to people and other societal assets (vulnerability/fragility characteristics), and (c) identification and (crucially) evaluation of what are the most appropriate mitigation actions to reduce ballistic risks before, during and after an eruption. A new, event-specific Te Maari hazard map was created using mapped deposits and the most likely hazard scenarios, in which the main hazard zone was increased to a 3km radius (choosing the larger potential radius based on historic events) down-slope and deliberately renamed the Active Volcanic Hazard Zone (AVHZ) to distinguish it from the former map (Fig. 2014a). Mt. This way the information would be reinforced with visits to different volcanoes and increase the likelihood of visitors acting correctly. 2007; Thompson et al. Communication of ballistic hazards and risk management vary at frequently erupting volcanoes that commonly enter in and out of crisis, such as Sakurajima in Japan. 2010).

These events may occur without warning and in the absence of a larger magmatic eruption. Despite this, the assessment of risk and communication of ballistic hazard has received surprisingly little study. 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. d GeoNet website showing monitoring data such as Volcanic Alert Level, seismic drums and visuals of the volcano. Ballistic projectiles ejected in explosive eruptions present a major proximal hazard to life, infrastructure and the environment. 2006; Alatorre-Ibargengoitia et al. In addition, further research has been completed on the ballistic hazard produced in the eruption. Et es g spkcegl `eio jn tkpbrg.

However, ballistic hazard mapping during a crisis can be limited by access restrictions due to the possibility of further eruptions, though as time progresses more detailed mapping is able to be completed (Fitzgerald et al. Altmetric, Part of the Advances in Volcanology book series (VOLCAN). The effects of falls can be, however. natural hazards informer, Issue 2. are a special kind of tephra. Once complete, risk can be evaluated and appropriate management and communication strategies implemented. The objectives of such meetings are to update communities on the evolving eruptive hazards, build relationships and trust, reduce any miscommunication or misinformation passed along, and to make sure the information being presented is what the end-members need (Barclay et al. An official website of the United States government. 2013; Breard et al. burl eitj tbk ger. Access is generally controlled at all times (even during periods of quiescence), sometimes with permanent restriction zones in which nobody is allowed to enter due to the risk of being struck by ballistics (Kagoshima City 2010). 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. death, injury, damage) from exposure to ballistics, typically with an associated probability of occurrence (Blong 1996). Mt. Unrest was observed at the volcano up to three weeks before the eruption, initially in the form of increased seismicity and then increased magmatic gas content (Jolly et al.

Ontake have longer repose periods), available resources (Yasur has less monitoring equipment and hazard information available than the other three examples), eruptive stylesYasur predominantly erupts bombs from small Strombolian eruptions; compared with phreatic eruptions from Mt. An increase in summit seismicity was noted 16days prior to the eruption resulting in the JMA releasing notices about volcanic activity, though activity was not at levels significant enough to raise the Volcanic Alert Level (there needed to be signs of deformation, which were not recorded until just prior to eruption; The Japan News, 26/10/14; Ui 2015). Ballistic hazards lend themselves to this type of community engagement because many open system volcanoes that may be constantly erupting but not considered to be in a state of volcanic crisis (e.g. 2015). This decision may have been different had hazard maps been posted around the volcano with instructions on actions to take in an eruption. Debris avalanches, lahars, and floods commonly accompany eruptions, but can also occur during dormant periods. The spatial distribution was mapped from aerial photos by Kaneko et al. Successful management of the risk from ballistic hazards typically requires first assessing the level of risk. Pele's Hair ; Bjwkvkr, prkoecteid wbkrk, Do not sell or share my personal information.

Managing ballistic hazard and risk on active volcanoes, particularly those permanently occupied or regularly visited, presents considerable challenges: it requires good information and specialist communication strategies around risk mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery dependent on the state of the volcano, e.g. 2014b, Fig. Nonetheless, even a short warning time may have provided more hikers time to get to shelter. 2010). Its deposits are derived from Plinian eruptions like the type which occured in 1991 eruption of Pinatubo. Prior to the eruption, Gifu and Nagano prefectures had separate commissions to manage volcanic activity from Mt.
