i. The challenges of standardisation on VALS effectiveness: managing UN and other regional / global policies with local needs.
ii. Developing a checklist for VALS usage: managing problems and issues to consider.
iii. Creating networks for VALS information and support: learning from the past,present, and future in virtual and real worlds. In addition we will also provide feedback on a global survey the VALS working group are conducting to review VALS used globally, providing some preliminary analysis. Representatives from observatories and key user groups are invited to attend to present their existing VALS and communication procedures, and/or discuss any challenges and opportunities in the design and operation of VALS. A proposed output is a series of handbooks and guidance for volcano observatories and users during late 2020 by the working group based on our survey, research, and workshop findings. The session will be interactive and interdisciplinary.
Core connection: This workshop aims to explore the links between volcano observatory scientists,key stakeholders (government and others), and the public via volcano alert level systems (VALS). VALS sit at the interface between the practice, policies, and communication of all stakeholders and therefore it is imperitative that in order to gain effective risk mitigation practices are shared and discussed between the different stakeholders to make sure these systems are effective. These workshops always aim (and achieve) a wide diversity of stakeholder attendees, and consequently focus on the connections between science and society.

The risk assessment due to any natural hazard typically requires a hazard model capable of defining the intensity and frequency of the hazard, an exposure model characterizing the built environment, and a vulnerability model defining the likelihood that each exposed element will suffer damage or loss. While the hazard component is highly dependent on the type of phenomena (e.g. volcanoes, earthquakes, floods,storms), there are similarities in the exposure and vulnerability components across the majority of the natural hazards, as well as in the procedure for the estimation of the potential losses and damages. It is thus important to explore overlapping areas in order to maximize the available resources, and avoid duplication of efforts.In this context, the CRAVE project (Collaborative Risk Assessment for Volcanoes and Earthquakes) supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and with participants from GEM, BGS, SGC, CVGHM, IT Bandung, PHIVOLCS and EOS, is exploring common tools and datasets for the assessment of the impact from volcanoes and earthquakes. These resources allow the employment of the same exposure dataset and risk framework for the estimation of the expected losses and affected population, while maintaining a link with well-established tools for the assessment of the volcano and earthquake hazard. In this workshop participants will be invited to explore these datasets and tools using hazard and risk data for a realistic scenario, and all of the resources will be made publicly available to the scientific community.
Connection to societal risk mitigation: Hands-on training with tools and datasets that allows estimating the impact due to volcanic and earthquake hazards.

Workshop Description:
Volcanic ash, gas and acid rain often occur together and collectively have the largest footprint of all volcanic phenomena: they are most likely to affect the greatest number of people. It may be difficult to attribute specific impacts to just one of these three phenomena; recent experience highlights the need to consider these collectively.This workshop, this workshop is sponsored by the IAVCEI Cities and Volcanoes Commission, the International Volcanic Health Hazards Network and the Volcanic Ashfall Impacts Working Group, invites volcano scientists, city and emergency managers, environmental monitoring agencies and health professionals to work together to:• Share current knowledge and new research concerning impacts and mitigation resources for ash, gas and acid rain
• Work through case studies of recent eruptions where civil authorities grappled with the combined impact of ash, gas, and acid rain, exploring key lessons and implications for best practice
• Identify information needs of civil agencies to determine research priorities, emphasising research co-production with volcano scientists and civil agencies and linkages to global programs.
Core connection with societal risk mitigation: Volcanic ash, gas and acid rain often occur together and collectively have the largest footprint of all volcanic phenomena: they are the most likely to affect the greatest number of people. Effective mitigation of ash, gas and acid rain impacts is a cornerstone of volcanic disaster risk reduction.

Workshop Description:
• What are the main techno-economical barriers for the development of geothermal energy in volcanic islands e.g. lack of groundwater, misfits in energy demand and production profiles or high production costs)?
• Are there non techno-economical barriers like social acceptance and risks,which need to be considered for applying geothermal energy on volcanic islands?
• How can these barriers be removed and which technological concepts may allow to include geothermal energy in energy supply?The first part of the workshop comprises short presentations of existing case studies based on submitted abstracts. The second part of the workshop includes group work activities and a final discussion round. The outcomes of the workshop will be summarized in a joint article.
Core connection with societal risk mitigation: Due to unique landscapes, volcanic islands like the Canary or Aeolian are very attractive for tourists, which in turn puts stress on the energy supply of such islands. On-site resources for producing electricity and heat (e.g., for hot water) are limited and fluctuating, when they are represented by solar or wind energy. In many cases, these islands are still supplied by imported fossil fuels to fill base load gaps. In the context of climate change mitigation and nature preservation as well as for economical reasons, measures needs to be undertaken to substitute the import of fossil fuels for energy production by on-site resources,which are able to provide base load supply.Active or post-active volcanic islands offer elevated geothermal heat flux,which could be used for combined heat and power production at base load level. However, especially in arid or semi-arid volcanic islands, major constraints for using geothermal energy are given by lack of groundwater, which acts as a heat carrier fluid.

Workshop Description:
This 2nd IAVCEI-GVM workshop builds on the outcomes of the 1st workshop and aims to:
• Reflect on current progress in volcanic risk reduction worldwide
• Identify progress/revision of existing materials (e.g. country profiles)
• Discuss ideas and contributions for GAR21
• Discuss key tasks and milestones and key indicators for success
• Discuss ways in which the COV community can contribute to SFDRR progress worldwide
