In Zahlen
A new study prepared by 11 scientists draws attention to the volcanic hazard in the Latin America region and current protection deficiencies. The region hosts about 22 percent of the world's volcanoes and one in every five volcanic eruptions. However, early warning systems that would protect millions of people from danger are not sufficient.
Researchers emphasize that the region is extremely vulnerable despite being geologically highly active. Even though the number of active volcanoes exceeds 300, most of the settlers living nearby are unprepared for a possible disaster. This situation reveals that regional governments need to take more comprehensive measures against volcanic risks.
