DESCRIPTION:Knowledge of politics and practices implemented by past societ
 ies can be very useful in today’s elaboration of prevention strategies a
 nd disaster responses. This session focuses on how historical processes ha
 ve influenced the construction of disaster management policies\, and how a
 rt and humanities approaches can be used to elicit the prevention of futur
 e disasters through two case studies: on the one hand the city of Quito (E
 cuador)\, that has expanded over a territory affected by repeated earthqua
 kes\, volcanic eruptions and landslides/mudflows/inundations throughout mo
 dern history\, on the other\, the volcanic eruption of the Laki fissure (I
 celand)\, which caused lava flows\, poisoned fields\, and famine in Icelan
 d and a fog of volcanic gases across the northern hemisphere.\n\n
