Background: To date there have been ten “Cities on Volcanoes” (COV) conferences, with COV11 scheduled for May 2020. The purpose of these meetings is to bring together volcanologists, civil authorities, sociologists, psychologists, emergency managers, economists and city planners to enhance volcanic crises preparedness and management in cities and densely populated areas.
Requirements: COV meetings are required to have a core focus on the links between volcanoes and society – especially cities. Community and disaster/emergency management participants are to be actively encouraged to participate and supported where possible.
