2014). A month of seismicity was noted prior to the 1991 eruption, increasing in frequency just days before the event. The distribution (distance from vent, direction, area and density) of ejected ballistics is controlled by the explosivity, type, size and direction of explosive eruptions, and usually creates spatially variable deposits (Gurioli et al. Detailed descriptions and maps of ballistic impact distributions are rare, but those published may contain some of the following data: maximum ballistic travel distances (Steinberg and Lorenz 1983; Robertson et al. When dispersed widely over a drainage basin, tephra can J Volcanol Geoth Res 286:397414, Paton D, Millar M, Johnston DM (2001) Community resilience to volcanic hazard consequences. _bky jntki ljj` le`k ceiokrs. One hut, Ketetahi Hut, is located within the summit hazard zone, though is not reinforced to protect against ballistic impact. 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 . 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. The review suggests future improvements to the communication and management of ballistic hazard. Being wintertime, there was very little use of the track. Volcanicashmay pose hazards hundreds of kilometers downwind from source, directly after accumulating at the surface and later, when particles are remobilized by wind or passing vehicles. Hikers chose to take images and video of the eruption instead of finding shelter. The vertical component of the particle's initial velocity is: vy0=7gt0v_{y0}=-7\cdot g\cdot t_0 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). 2013; Fitzgerald et al.

View three different computer-generated ash-cloud simulations. 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). Ontake. Probabilities were re-assessed every week immediately after eruption, which was subsequently extended to every month, then every three months as time passed. We summarise the three that could be found. Fig. Share sensitive information only on official, secure websites. from lack of oxygen. Dangers From Tephra Falls and Ballistic Projectiles Tephra fall and ballistic projectiles also endanger life, property, and the environment in the following ways: Small scoria pieces can be embedded in wood and can even dent metals. 2012; Maeno et al. 2016). Tephra falls do pose a risk to lives; however, pyroclastic flows are the chief cause . Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) and lava flows are not included in a hazard zone but are mentioned as a possibility in all valleys. The map, published in 2007, consists of a summit hazard zone around each active vent, encompassing gas and ballistics at radii of 23km for different vents based on experience of ballistic ranges in past eruptions at Tongariro National Park. In this example, eruption history and frequency of occurrence are used to define three eruption scenarios (High: VEI 23 (as they are more frequent), Intermediate: 4, and Low: 5 (though an eruption of this size would affect more people and impact a larger area, it has a much lower likelihood of occurring). 2008; Dohaney et al. sbgros, hut wetb vgreghlk gfjuits jn hrj`ki crystgl gio letbec (rjc`) nrgdfkits. 2016; Tsunematsu et al. This is evident at Yasur Volcano, Vanuatu where guides are frequently relied on to communicate ballistic hazard and safe areas to approach around the volcano, and at Tongariro Volcano, New Zealand where transport operators can give important information to 85% of all those hiking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing (TAC).

Instead, visitors and stakeholders would have to rely on their knowledge of the potential hazards and the response actions to take, especially if there are no real-time warning systems. A requirement for this to occur is the presence of ground deformation, which was not recorded until 7min before the eruption. Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables mmm, hhh, ddd, and free fall acceleration ggg. Cordons, initially manned, were established at either ends of the TAC to prevent hikers from entering.

Ballistic projectiles are the most frequently lethal volcanic hazard close to the vent. 2012). Eruption frequency and magnitude, the extent of past ballistic distributions, and modelling of possible future trajectories were not investigated. This places more emphasis and weight on the availability of background hazard maps with messaging covering actions in events up to this size, signage around the volcano (in language(s) appropriate for the audience to comprehend, especially if there is a large proportion of visitors who speak a different language), on pamphlets distributed to businesses and visitors actually reading them, and through communication with their guides.

Longer periods of precursory activity allow time for warnings to be issued. 5e). Part of Springer Nature. 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. However, advice or instructions are not given for what to do if caught in an area where ballistics are landing.

The other half of the map consists of information on precursory phenomena likely to be felt and who to call if detected; how volcanic warnings will be disseminated and the measures needed to be taken; what the five volcanic alert levels are/what activity is expected and the consequent actions needed to be taken; information on major historic eruptions and recent activity; and evacuation procedures. Ballistic communication strategies will also vary with eruption frequency, the risk context (quiescence or crisis; Fig. The directionality of these blasts is often unpredictable, and can be influenced by external factors such as landslides (Christiansen 1980; Breard et al. National Catalogue of the active volcanoes in Japan (4th edn). In collaboration with researchers from the USGS Volcano Hazards Program, the Hazards Vulnerability Team worked on better understanding and communicating. When activity changes, alert levels are posted on the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) website for the public to view. the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were destroyed in 79 AD Additionally, all of these volcanoes are relatively accessible and attract large numbers of tourists each year. Lahar volume 2012). Ontake 2014 eruption resulted in the most fatalities from any of the case studies, and provides a chance to analyse why this was so with the aim of preventing it from occurring again. Communication delivered jointly by scientists and the local community is also advisable as community members may be better trusted and better communicators to their community than scientists in isolation. For each pair of terms, explain how the meanings of the terms differ. J Appl Volcanol 4:12, Drabek TE (1995) Disaster responses within the tourist industry. 2000; Alatorre-Ibargengoitia et al.

Hazard maps and additional information should be made available and accessible to the public, and if different maps are made for, or directed to, different audiences their content must be consistent. Another frequently active volcano in which ballistics are a major hazard is Sakurajima Volcano, Japan. 2004; Haynes et al. 2014). Accessed Jul 21 2015, NIED (1980) Field report of the disaster from Ontake 1979 eruption. The vast majority of people are guided up the volcano by local guides to watch the eruptions occur, with a main viewing area only 150m from the craters inner rim. As the majority of people in the area are transient tourists, guides are often relied upon to relay hazard and risk information to their patrons. Many volcanoes around the world have been targeted for Blocks were distributed over a 6km2 area, affecting ~2.6 km of the popular Tongariro Alpine Crossing (TAC), a walking track frequented by around 100,000 people a year (Fitzgerald et al. Falling volcanic ash can disrupt lives distant from an erupting volcano. The Shinano Mainichi Shimbun Press, Nagano (in Japanese), Siegrist M, Cvetkovich G (2000) Perception of hazards: the role of social trust and knowledge. What would anexplosive eruptionfrom Mount St. Helens look like today? However, a scenario with fatalities on the scale seen at Ontake is unlikely from Sakurajima due to the 2km restriction zone. Definitions for strong eruption and great eruption are not provided, nor is an explanation of the data that these zones are based on. The ranges of pyroclasts ejected in transient volcanic explosions. Fitzgerald, R.H., Kennedy, B.M., Wilson, T.M., Leonard, G.S., Tsunematsu, K., Keys, H. (2017). It provides two ballistic hazard zonesone for a phreatic eruption that extends 2km from the vent area, and one for a larger magmatic eruption, extending 4km from the vent area (http://www.city.gero.lg.jp/hazardmap/#12/35.9073/137.5203). 2). A good example of a ballistic hazard map that follows the best-practice steps above was created by Alatorre-Ibargengoitia et al. Ballistic projectiles are one potentially lethal and damaging hazard produced in volcanic eruptions. Once these steps are complete, we then suggest that a ballistic risk assessment is undertaken to help underpin effective management and communication of ballistic hazard and risk. 2004; Williams and Keys 2013). To learn more aboutashandtephra, visit theVolcano Hazards Program tephra webpage. 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. GNS Science Report 2012/09, 90p, Williams KL, Keys HJR (2013) Reducing volcanic risk on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. deposits closed to the source can increase infiltration capacity and Hazard and risk assessments are useful starting points for all communication and management strategies as the nature, extent and consequences of the hazard need to be understood prior to any decisions being made. This creates an increasing demand for ballistic hazard and risk assessments coupled with effective communication strategies to manage ballistic risk at volcanoes. The commission, similar to the Sakurajima council, is comprised of volcanologists, local government, JMA and other interested agencies (http://www.pref.nagano.lg.jp/kisochi/kisochi-seisaku/ontakesan/kazanbousaikyougikai.html). This decision may have been different had hazard maps been posted around the volcano with instructions on actions to take in an eruption. 2007; Leonard et al. Mt. Effective communication of ballistic hazard and risk to end-users such as the public, stakeholders in the area and emergency managers underpins effective development and implementation of these risk management strategies. Pumice ; at Ballistic blocks killed 20 people instantly. 2014). GNS volcanic alert bulletins were also produced, communicating updates on the precursory phenomena observed at Tongariro (Volcanic Alert Bulletins TON-2012/0104; Fig. Precursory activity only increased 11min prior to eruption, resulting in an unexpected eruption. Earthscan, London, pp 220231, Small C, Naumann T (2001) The global distribution of human population and recent volcanism. An updated risk management framework has been developed from 2012 to 2016 including updated bulletins and VALs, background and safety (crisis) hazard maps, and tourist information including education and safety map information. 2013; Kaneko et al. _kpbrg cjisests jn pyrjclgstec nrgdfkits, jn giy sezk gio jredei. Instead ballistics are typically included in all-hazard or multi-hazard maps (Fig. Tons of carbon dioxide This leads to a limited understanding of the hazard and risk posed to the area. In response the Volcanic Alert Level was raised from 0 to 1 (indicating unrest). A classical atom that has an electron orbiting at frequency fff would emit electromagnetic waves of frequency fff because the electron's orbit, seen edge-on, looks like an oscillating electric dipole. It is important that stakeholders know the limitations of the information presented to them and/or informing decisions which affect them. Risk assessments estimate the likelihood of consequences (i.e. Secure .gov websites use HTTPS Ontake, Te Maari)? Yasur is visited by much fewer tourists than Ontake so it is unlikely to see as many fatalities from one event as occurred at Ontake, although the lack of shelter, lack of hazard advice, and proximity to the vent means that ballistic casualties are still relatively likely at this volcano. (2016) and delineated into four zones. death, injury, damage (Fitzgerald et al. These assessments also need to be communicated to the public so that they can make informed decisions about the hazard and risk in the area they choose to enter as well as what steps they need to take to protect themselves. Crisis communication sign temporarily used at Ruapehu volcano following a small eruption in 2007, while it was considered there was an elevated risk of further eruptions. The parameter by which the zone is based on is not provided (e.g. Wind above the stratosphere has a _______________ pattern that could be quite different from that in the troposphere. Ontake. 2014; Tsunematsu et al. We note many of these issues transcend volcanic ballistics to include nearly all volcano types and volcanic hazards: What is the most effective way to manage and communicate risk from volcanoes which are (highly) visited and/or settled which experience eruptions with very short and/or no meaningful warnings (e.g. Risk communication methods used at Tongariro, New Zealand. 2013), probability of a specific size of ballistics reaching a given area (Artunduaga and Jimenez 1997), or probability of a specific consequence occurring e.g. Tongariro eruption, New Zealand. vy0=7gt0, t0=4dght_0=\dfrac{4\cdot d}{\sqrt{g\cdot h}} for concentrated hazards research. Ballistics are usually represented by one hazard zone, often based on the maximum or expected travel distance of a ballistic clast. Bull Volcanol 46(4):333348, Swanson DA, Zolkos SP, Haravitch B (2012) Ballistic blocks around Klauea Caldera: Their vent locations and number of eruptions in the late 18th century.

The projectiles of lava or solid rock, ranging from a few centimetres to several metres in diameter, are erupted with high kinetic, and sometimes thermal, energy. How far projectiles go from the vent partly depends on the size of ejected fragments. However, ballistic hazard and risk are not and should not be treated the same at all volcanoes. J Volcanol Geoth Res 100(14):479502, Tsunematsu K, Ishimine Y, Kaneko T, Yoshimoto M, Fujii T, Yamaoka K (2016) Estimation of ballistic block landing energy during 2014 Mount Ontake eruption. What happens to the state of liquid water if enough heat is added? ff). 2016). Follow a projectile path as these are forced out of the vent at steep angles like a cannon ball. This was distributed to the media (print, television, web and radio) to inform a wider audience (Leonard et al. Tourists, hikers, mountaineers, locals and volcanologists frequently visit and reside on and around active volcanoes, where ballistic projectiles are a lethal hazard. . Tephra Falls and Ballistic Projectiles - 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. Correspondence to (2008) explore the eruptive history of Gareloi Volcano, though eruption frequency is only narrowed down to one eruption every 2050years and is not broken down into eruption magnitudes.

Keep in mind that the next volcanic ash fall that drifts over your community might be from a distant volcano. Volcanologists also refer to airborne fragments as pyroclasts.Once clasts have fallen to the ground, they remain as tephra unless hot enough to fuse into pyroclastic rock or tuff. Multiple factors contributed to the high fatality rate: The eruption happened in peak season when ~340 people were on the mountain. These maps should continue to be updated after the event when detailed scientific studies are complete; Volcano monitoring systems to monitor volcanic activity and indicate when a volcano is in unrest; The use of signage around the volcano to communicate ballistic hazard and risk, integrated with other hazard advice, including warning systems where practical, and with a focus on effectiveness of communication rather than just providing information; The use of volcanic alert bulletins, media releases or reports to communicate ballistic hazard and risk in crisis phases; Open, sufficiently frequent communication between scientists, stakeholders, emergency managers and local communities in which updates and training are provided, and informed input made into management and mitigation measures.

Scientific information can be misunderstood, misrepresented or distorted when passed from scientists to end-users (stakeholders, emergency managers and the public; Barclay et al. DOC also published educational information on the eruption hazard at Te Maari including further advice on actions to take in an eruption (Fig. Its deposits are derived from Plinian eruptions like the type which occured in 1991 eruption of Pinatubo. Ballistic communication methods used at volcanoes include hazard and risk assessments, hazard maps, volcano monitoring and research, real-time warning systems, volcanic alert levels; volcano warnings, alert bulletins and communication with agencies; response exercises, education materials, response plans, exclusion and evacuation zones, instructions and signage for what to do in the event of an eruption around the volcano, community engagement, educational materials, and land-use planning and infrastructure design. Ballistics were a known hazard from the active vents of Tongariro, witnessed in the 19745 Ngauruhoe eruptions (Nairn and Self 1978). The publics response to volcanic hazard communication is influenced by the content and attractiveness of the message (which should include a description of the hazard, its impacts, hazard extent, and advice on what to do and when), how comprehensible it is, and the frequency and number of channels the message is received from, as well as the extent of public belief that safety actions are possible and will be effective (Leonard et al.

GNS Science Report 2006/7 38p, Coombs ML, McGimsey RG, Browne BL (2008) Preliminary volcano-hazard assessment for Gareloi Volcano, Gareloi Island. 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. This information is also available on the official tourism website of Kagoshima City (http://www.city.kagoshima.lg.jp/soumu/shichoshitu/kokusai/en/emergency/sakurajima.html).

Best practice suggests the use of multiple sources to disseminate hazard and risk information as preferred forms of media accessed for information vary (Sorensen 2000; Mileti et al. On the distribution of volcanic ejecta (Part I. 3a). 2015). 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. The May 18, 1980 tephraplumelasted for about eight hours and the plume top ranged from 1418 km (8.511 mi) high. Rapp. 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.

Transparency builds trust and credibility. Zonation is generally used as a means to distinguish areas of hazard, exposure, vulnerability and risk (Sparks et al. The Department of Conservation (DOC), the agency responsible for hazard and risk management at Tongariro, began to implement risk management as part of a recovery programme.
