There have been a number of impactful eruptions since early 2020, including Fagradalsfjall (Iceland), La Soufrière (St Vincent), Nyiragongo (Democratic Republic of Congo), La Palma (Spain), and others. This session is dedicated on the crisis management of these eruptions, including resident and tourist considerations, communications, crisis management in the time of covid-19, and interagency cooperation.
