Global Initiative: Enhancing SeismicVolcanic Risk Assessment Across South America and ASEAN Regions

Overview

The initiative to enhance the understanding and assessment of seismic and volcanic risks worldwide has led to the formation of the Global Earthquake Model GEM and the Global Volcano Model network. GEM, founded in Italy in 2009, is a pioneering organization dedicated to developing open-source tools andfor quantifying seismic hazards and risk globally. Similarly, the Global Volcano Model network serves as an international community committed to providing comprehensive evidence, data analysis, and risk assessment of volcanic hazards across national, regional, and global scales, collaborating with monitoring agencies to implement effective disaster risk reduction strategies.

Recognizing the need to tackle these risks comprehensively, GEM and the Global Volcano Model are spearheading international efforts med at mitigating adverse impacts from earthquakes and volcanoes. In recent years, extensive research in South America and the ASEAN region has significantly contributed to seismic and volcanic hazard understanding. However, most of this work has been fragmented with a narrow focus on individual components of risk such as hazard or vulnerability. This limitation hinders the development of holistic risk profiles essential for informed decision-making.

The Collaborative Risk Assessment for Volcanoes and Earthquakes CRAVE project presents an unprecedented opportunity to advance seismic and volcanic risk assessment in these regions. By leveraging existing GEM and Global Volcano Model network tools, this initiative will offer a timely and unparalleled platform for deepening our understanding of the combined impacts of earthquakes and volcanoes.

Objectives

The primary goal of CRAVE is to create a cohesive framework for the evaluation of seismic and volcanic impacts applicable in three countries situated along the Pacific Rim. The project encompasses several events med at convening global partners - including leading organizations with expertise in calculating and communicating seismic and volcanic risk, alongside trning initiatives designed to empower local institutions in hazard assessment.

Collaborators

The CRAVE project is a collaborative effort involving key organizations:

• British Geological Survey BGS

• Earth Observatory of Singapore EOS

• University of Edinburgh

• Volcano Disaster Assistance Program VDAP from the US Geological Survey USGS, and

  • Regional entities such as:

  • Colombian Geological Survey

  • Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology PHIVOLCS

  • Badan Geologi Indonesia

Location

The project is centered in Colombia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
