“…At Vesuvius, recent work ranges from simulations of tephra falls and pyroclastic flows [ Barberi et al , 1990; Dobran et al , 1994] to calculations of the likely mortality and building damage on a macroscopic scale [ Spence et al , 2004; Zuccaro et al , 2008]. Although the next eruption of Vesuvius will most likely have a disastrous impact, many decades or even centuries may pass before this eruption may occur [ De Vivo , 2006].…”

Predicting the impact of lava flows at Mount Etna, Italy

[1] Forecasting the time, nature, and impact of future eruptions is difficult at volcanoes such as Mount Etna, in Italy, where eruptions occur from the summit and on the flanks, affecting areas distant from each other. Nonetheless, the identification and quantification of areas at risk from new eruptions are fundamental for mitigating potential human casualties and material damage. Here, we present new results from the application of a methodology to define flexible high-resolution lava invasion susceptibility maps based on a reliable computational model for simulating lava flows at Etna and on a validation procedure for assessing the correctness of susceptibility mapping in the study area. Furthermore, specific scenarios can be extracted at any time from the simulation database, for land use and civil defense planning in the long term, to quantify, in real time, the impact of an imminent eruption, and to assess the efficiency of protective measures.
