While the timing of eruptions may be unknown or uncertain their impacts and long term effects can be assessed. Recent eruptions have demonstrated the devastating impacts of volcanic activity on nearby landscapes and communities. The 2010 Eyjafjallajokull eruptions although small by world standards highlighted the vulnerability of the modern day global society to minor eruptions. Volcanic crises must be planned for using a comprehensive risk management approach that links mitigation preparedness response and recovery activities. Over the last few decades it has been recognized that integrated multi-disciplinary research is needed to provide an understanding of the social economic and cultural factors that influence the development of strong communities that are resilient to the impacts of volcano hazards and able to respond effectively when events occur. A number of global initiatives are seeking to promote these concepts. The Integrated Research for Disaster Reduction IRDR http is a decade-long integrated research program co-sponsored by the International Council for Science ICSU the International Social Science Council ISSC and the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction UN-ISDR . It is a global multi-disciplinary approach to dealing with the challenges brought about by natural disasters mitigating their impacts and improving related policy-making mechanisms. The IRDR Program endeavors to bring together the natural socio-economic health and engineering sciences in a coordinated effort to reduce the risks associated with .
