What is volcanic risk?

Volcanic risk refers to the potential hazards and dangers associated with volcanic activity. It includes the likelihood of volcanic eruptions occurring, as well as the potential impacts such as lava flows, ashfall, pyroclastic flows, lahars, and volcanic gases. Volcanic risk also takes into account the vulnerability of nearby communities and infrastructure to these hazards, and the potential for loss of life, property damage, and disruption to socio-economic activities.
