SUMMARY:Integrating social and institutional vulnerabilities into volcanic
  risk scenarios: A case study at Nevado Cayambe\, Ecuador - Dr Julie Morin

DESCRIPTION:Eight hundred million people live near active volcanoes worldw
 ide\, however many of them have never experienced volcanic eruptions or th
 eir associated hazards. While the volcanologist community provides essenti
 al understanding about volcanic systems\, geographers and other social sci
 entists share an equally fundamental role in assessing dimensions of vulne
 rability and risk and aiding preparedness efforts and managing volcanic cr
 ises.  \n\nOur current case study focuses on Cayambe Volcano in Northern E
 cuador\, which began to show signs of unrest in 2016. It is covered with a
  22 km2 glacier that could trigger deadly mudflows in the city of Cayambe 
 in a future eruption. However\, little was done to prepare the population.
  As geographers facing the evidence of this preparedness "void"\, we desir
 e to build a pilot rapid assessment framework\, based on data collected at
  Cayambe\, which can be used to minimize the impact of hazard events. The 
 framework includes for instance vulnerability assessments\, risk perceptio
 n\, and evacuation modelling. It beneficiates from the inputs of colleague
 s from other disciplines working in volcanic environments\, and from the c
 lose collaboration of the local communities and Civil Protection authoriti
 es. We aim to provide a set of preliminary guidelines for building a "soci
 al sciences framework" and conducting a rapid assessment to better address
  complex cases of volcanic unrest at other understudied\, potentially acti
 ve volcanoes.
