long term responses to iceland volcano 2010

The first evacuation orders that residents in Vestur- and Austur-Eyjafjll received this second time came from DCPEM/police (50% A-E; 58% V-E), family, friends or neighbours (28% A-E; 8% V-E) and, the rescue teams (6% A-E; 8% V-E). The years of 2000, 2008 and 2016 were selected as equal time periods of available data from the most recent year (i.e., 2016, as accessed in 2017). Lava fountain and lava flows from the Holuhraun fissure eruption on Iceland, Sep 2014 (Bardarbunga volcano) (Photo: Lukas Gawenda) Multiple lava fountain from the Holuhraun fissure eruption . . The kids they can learn everything. Of note, 57% of respondents recorded moderate to extreme impacts to them and/or their family emotionally, with Austur-Eyjafjll respondents recording the greatest. Significantly, this paper links together longitudinal research that spans more than a decade capturing an at-risk populations perspectives of: inherited knowledge, hazard assessments, risk mitigation strategies including a fullscale evacuation exercise; to their response during and perspectives of a volcanic crisis. The 2010 eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajkull volcano caused so much trouble to air traffic with its ash plume because of the jagged particles of ash that formed when magma came into contact wi 1). The relatively small, homogenous population of Iceland coupled with its peoples desire to cooperate contributed to this success. People used to be everywhere and its still the same, but now there are 30 times, 100 times more [tourists]. For example, rural residents responsible for livestock questioned their ability to comply with evacuation orders (Bird et al., 2009b, Bird et al., 2011). Earthwatch Institute is an international environmental charity. Due to the flank eruption, residents awareness was heightened when the summit eruption began in the early hours of 14 April 2010, with many reporting they were closely monitoring earthquake activity on the Icelandic Meteorological Offices website. It was not only the darkness but also the noise of the eruption for the children and animals. Given the South attracts the highest number of visitors outside the capital region (Bird et al., 2016), it is safe to assume that the changes in livelihood are a reflection of changes in the South. People can lose their possessions as . While the sample size may seem small, it is a reflection of this sparsely populated rural area (as evidenced by the number of inhabitants given in Fig. But it didnt worry us at all. But I would not be afraid. In the wake of the 2010 eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajkull volcano, scientists are developing infrared technology to help pilots see and steer around ash clouds 4:05 Published: 7 Dec 2011 There is no doubt that many tourists want to see an eruption, as was the case with Hawaiis Kilauea eruption in 2018 (Walker, 2018), and may try to persuade their guides to deliver. She was a little more anxious. And I have the same feeling about Katla (A-E). Global cooling caused by the ash.

ADS Average sentiment (where 1=extremely unlikely and 5=extremely likely) in regards to respondents perception of the possibility of a Katla eruption and its effects (n2008=19, n2010=5054). There is a glacier above the volcano. Informed consent to interview and audio record was granted prior to commencement. It is important to note that these networks have become more accessible and much greater with the advent of social media and the reliance on it for risk and crisis communication (Bird et al., 2012, Sennert et al., 2015), notwithstanding the challenges that brings. The authors declare no competing interests. It may also relate to the incessant news broadcasts that some believed exaggerated the level of impacts in the region (Bird et al., 2011, Bird et al., 2018). The research also highlights the importance of local residents knowing and sharing their stories and experiences with their neighbours. Furthermore, South Icelands Hekla, Katla, Grmsvtn and Brarbunga volcanoes (Fig. The datasets generated during and/or analysed during the current study are not publicly available due to human research ethics agreements but may be made available from the corresponding author on reasonable request. With the rapidly increasing number of tourists in the region, the police/DCPEM may need to consider further non-compliance, particularly among tour operators and tourist accommodation managers/staff due to their duty of care to their patrons. Overall, the 58 households that took part in the survey included approximately 141 adults and 38 children (an approximate is given as some respondents noted that household membership varied with children attending school outside the region). We certainly sympathised with our nearest neighbours from Austur-Eyjafjll. It can be annoying. And of course [Eyjafjallajkull] they want to say theyve been here. People living within a 20 km zone . You have to know what is around you. There is also economic change occurring with respect to peoples livelihoods. Out of 61 households approached to take part in the survey, 58 completed the questionnaire (one respondent per household) giving a response rate of 95%. Iceland volcano: Naval ships sent to rescue stranded Britons Aircraft carrier and assault ships deployed to boost cross-Channel options for travellers hit by ash cloud flight ban The naval ships. They dont seem like they are afraid or trying to get information about when the next [eruption] comes. On average, Mauna Loa, located on the island of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean, erupts every three and a half years with fountains and streams of incandescent lava. This is the ninth video for the AQA GCSE 9-1 Geography course, and the ninth video of the Cha. Yeah! [stated in a very blas tone] (A-E). Because of this, optimistic residents may be less inclined to respond to a future event. Aust J Emerg Manag 29:5055, Bird D, Ling M, Haynes K (2012) Flooding Facebookthe use of social media during the Queensland and Victorian floods. Hence, we accessed data on the total number of people employed in main and second jobs held outside the capital region and within the farming (crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities) and tourism sectors. 7 Iceland's Financial Crisis and Its Causes In October 2008, Iceland nationalized its three largest banks. Nevertheless, only 5% reported environmental cues as the first notification they received that a second eruption had begun. Population data by age and gender is available from 1998. . Transcripts were analysed and coded according to the core topics of the 2010 questionnaire. Conducted as a more open interview than the rigorous 2010 interviews, the 2016 interviews lasted between 17 and 57min.

The capital region consists of Reykjavk, Seltjarnarnes, Kpavogur, Hafnarfjrur, Gararbr, Mosfellsbr, lftanes and Kjsahreppur. Between March and June 2010 a series of volcanic events at Eyjafjallajkull in Iceland caused enormous disruption to air travel across Western Europe . Map produced by rds Hgnadttir. Contributions from the Ash Fall Impacts Working Group, Katharine Haynes, Carolina Garcia Londoo and Gurn Ptursdttir are appreciated in relation to the development of the questionnaire. The eruption of the Eyjafjallajkull volcano in Iceland on 20 March 2010 affected the economic, political and cultural activities in Europe and across the world. The eruption has prompted further research into air craft design. Iceland is not big so it should be possible to teach (A-E). They registered in and out of the area. They could hardly do it differently. Respondents comments to corresponding open questions and during the interviews highlighted the importance of secondary sources of information as a means for residents to confirm the first source of news to evacuate. About them coming with the sirens [makes siren sounds] and taking me I dont mind the eruption but please dont send the police! The long-term impact proved to be just as catastrophic, as the community never recovered from the lahars that engulfed it. I was born here. All respondents were impacted by ash fall, just over a quarter (26%) were impacted by lahars and 20% were impacted by jkulhlaup. Hence, respondents know the person as a neighbour or as a rescue team member rather than a sweeper. As the communities diversify, so too will peoples beliefs, values and activities. Other aspects of the 2010 survey have been published elsewhere (Bird and Gsladttir, 2012, Bird and Gsladttir, 2014, Bird et al., 2018). http://px.hagstofa.is/pxen/pxweb/en/Ibuar/Ibuar__mannfjoldi__2_byggdir__sveitarfelog/MAN02001.px/table/tableViewLayout1/?rxid=e87bdd18-bb84-4e71-8c4f-611b8d583564. Climate change is the result of natural and human factors, and has a range of effects: Evidence for climate change from the beginning of the Quaternary period to the present day. Iceland's Eyjafjallajkull Volcano burst into life for the first time in 190 years on March 20, 2010. We still have the sweeper system it is difficult to depend only on the mobile phones so we still have the sweeper system (O). . E-15 volcano (short&long term responses) Flashcards. Eldfell after my visit to Eldheimar. However, more respondents acknowledged the necessity of evacuating during the summit eruption (75%) than the flank eruption (54%). The decision to omit Skgar was based on the fact that it is located further from the eruption site than other communities in Austur- Eyjafjll and it is not situated in a jkulhlaup hazard zone for an Eyjafjallajkull or Katla eruption. At 9:30 p.m. on March 19, 2021 Also in response to Eyjafjallajkull's impact on air travel, ICAO formed the International Volcanic Ash Task Force (IVATF) in May 2010, charging it to examine how best to define hazardous airspace and manage aviation risk. They marked the questionnaire as a positive response because they had intended to evacuate, as they believed it was the right thing to do, to the extent that they were concerned the police would come for them: To be very honest, during the night and until the morning I was more scared of the police than the eruption! During these events this area was impacted by jkulhlaup, ash fall, lightning, loud sound blasts and rock fall. Tierney KJ, Lindell MK, Perry RW (2001) Facing the unexpected: disaster preparedness and response in the United States. It would have therefore been more logical to practice it under the new police jurisdiction once it had been created (RT). Lava or Volcanic Bombs . What were the responses to the 2002 eruption of Mount Nyiragongo? Immediate responses Long term responses Aid agencies gave bedding, equipment to provide clean water for drinking and sanitation, blankets, tents, food, and cooking utensils to refugees. Eruption 2010: Nature of event:: Eyjafjallajokull (E15) is an ice-covered stratovolcano South-East of Iceland. Published Apr 17, 2020. The experience that is the focus of this paper is the response to the 2010 Eyjafjallajkull eruptions. Joseph Henry Press, Washington, D.C. Tversky A, Kahneman D (1973) Availability: a heuristic for judging frequency and probability. This undermines decision making processes . Despite these issues, the majority of respondents believed both evacuations were necessary. These include individual-level indicators and event-orientated variables (Dash and Gladwin, 2007) such as their perception of the ensuing event, the perceived safety of their home relative to the threat, timing of evacuation (e.g., are the roads already congested with traffic, are all household members accounted for) and past experiences (Drabek, 1986, Gladwin et al., 2001, Mileti and Peek, 2000, Paton et al., 2001, Sorensen and Sorensen, 2007, Tierney et al., 2001). All interviewees and respondents are graciously thanked for their willingness to participate in this study. Solid red vertical line indicates timing of Icelands financial crash in 2008. This creates many jobs for people in the tourism industry. In its path, the lava decimated houses, schools and the city's main water reservoir. Even though some considered it the right thing to do, they decided to shelter in place (e.g., within their own home) because they had a duty of care to family members and believed this was the safest option. Test. The data presented here clearly shows that the success of the 2010 evacuations, which were a risk mitigation intervention, is no differentfrom the integrated approach employed during the 2005 hazard assessment (Gumundsson and Gylfason, 2005), the 2006 evacuation exercise (Bird et al., 2009b), the 2010 meetings and throughout the 2010 response (Bird et al., 2018), to the South regions communities where neighbours interact relatively frequently due to their beliefs, values and activities. The police overcame this issue during the 2010 evacuations by allowing farmers to re-enter the hazard zones to tend their livestock. Ash advisories derived from dispersion-model output were issued by the London VAAC, depicting the presence of ash over large parts of Europe and the North Atlantic. An intense seismic crisis started at Brdarbunga volcano on 16 August 2014 and led to several short-lived smaller subaerial and subglacial eruptions, before stabilizing in an ongoing (22 Sep) fissure eruption that started 31 Aug at Holuhraun plain north of the glacier. Farming has traditionally been the main livelihood in Icelands South region. Its all going very well in a way but its a huge change because the tourists have multiplied - there are a lot more tourists here than there used to be three years ago. The PADM shows that decision-making is initiated by environmental cues (e.g., the sight or sound of an eruption), social cues (e.g., neighbours evacuating) and/or warnings (e.g., official advice to evacuate). We have a similar amount of policemen as we had in 2004 (O). These figures are approximate based on some respondents noting a range in the number of people living at that address in the questionnaire. An immediate evacuation was considered critical, given the assessment showed that inhabited areas may be flooded by a jkulhlaup within an hour of an eruption commencing in Eyjafjallajkull (Sigursson et al., 2011). While we are not able to show statistically significant differences between the datasets due to the small size and slightly different nature of the 2008 dataset (e.g., it does not include respondents from Vestur-Eyjafjll and Austur-Eyjafjll), we can present some interesting observations. Often causes fires. Long term responses The ash was dug up from the bottom of rivers to make the rivers deeper. It was an enormously costly "one-size-fits-all". [Initially] it had not been established as on Fimmvruhls but [we knew it was on the] east [side]. While authorities were pleased with public response to evacuation orders in 2010, some residents did not evacuate. Responses to the event (international and domestic) - Immediate and long term Eyjafjallajokull is in Iceland, and is an example of a major volcanic eruption. To obtain And despite the clarity of the prescribed action to evacuate, some residents received conflicting information regarding the location of their designated centre. Apart from the volcano itself, hot springs and geysers can also bring in tourists. An additional 13 respondents indicated they had tourism as their main occupation. Authorities now have the ability to push emergency notifications out to all mobile phones within a designated area of telecommunication towers (pers. Evacuation plans, based on a 2005 hazard assessment (see Gumundsson and Gylfason, 2005), were finalised during this period (Bird et al., 2011). Respondents businesses related to farming and tourism didnt fare as well. However, the changing economic, demographic and political landscape will test this phenomenon. Iceland, as the land of fire and ice, is of no exception. This extends from the south coast of the island and was imposed because of the size of the existing volcanic dome and the resulting potential for pyroclastic activity. Test. Springer, New York, MATH The IVATF finished its work in June 2012, and a record of its results is available. The Restless Earth Case Studies. Furthermore, residents were not kept at the evacuation centre any longer than needed. (7 marks) Describe what can be done to limit the risk posed by volcanic eruptions to people and property in a named location. These figures, however, should be treated with caution. Sustained long-term efforts are needed to minimize the loss of lives from future eruptions. (A-E). We still live with ash storm when the wind is blowing (S). Correspondence to Some 60 volunteers and staff of the Icelandic Red Cross have been working around the clock since the second eruption of the Eyjafjallajkull volcano on 14 April. Short Term. The search for the six people still missing around the 3,067 meter peak of the volcano on the. The farm is on a hill and in my opinion there was no risk of flooding (A-E). Please note, due to time pressures the community of Skgar (Austur- Eyjafjll) was not included in this study. While the nature of the 2016 project prevented a more broad survey, as that conducted in 2010, it provided an excellent opportunity to exchange and discuss valuable information with authorities in regards to developments in volcanic emergency response strategies on the back of learnings from the 2010 Eyjafjallajkull eruptions and our survey data. Using the Citizen Science methodology, Earthwatch's mission statement is "to engage people worldwide in . Soc Sci J 36:515523, Gladwin C, Gladwin H, Peacock WG (2001) Modeling hurricane evacuation decisions with ethnographic methods. The former outbreak in Eyjafjallajkull in 2010 was a small effusive basalt eruption starting on March 20th when a 400 m long fissure opened on the northeastern flank of the volcano called Fimmvruhls that lies between the ice caps of Eyjafjallajkull and Mrdalsjkull glaciers at 800 m above sea level. These operations are coordinated through a complex network involving geologists, emergency workers, the police and rescue workers. -Icelandic red cross- 60 volunteers provided food for the farming population.

Despite volcanic eruptions in earlier times, the eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull in April and May 2010 served as a climactic point in aviation history. Demographic changes most notably include greater international migration and migration from the capital region. Most of the survivors evacuated to the neighboring towns and villages, but the community of . Participants Adult residents in areas close to the Eyjafjallajkull volcano (N=1096), divided according to exposure levels, and a non-exposed sample (n=475), with 80% participation rate in 2013. It was noted that the region attracts all types of travellers, from large tour groups, to individuals in rental cars, people on private tours, campervans and hitchhikers. I dont think that anyone around here was afraid. Each quote is coded as one of the following: V-E for Vestur-Eyjafjll resident, A-E for Austur-Eyjafjll resident, S for Slheimar resident, for lftaver resident, RT for rescue team member and O for official. How many people are stranded after the eruption of the Eyjafjallajkull. Aggregated livelihood data is therefore presented for outside the capital region from 19912016 (i.e., the time period available from Statistics Iceland). Overall, these eruptions have prompted the aviation industry, regulators, and scientists to work more closely together to improve the manner in which hazardous airspace is defined, forecast, and communicated. However, rather than just focusing information on the risk itself it is essential to communicate actionable risk, i.e., what actions people need to take with respect to reducing their personal risk (Drabek, 1999, Mileti et al., 2004, Wood et al., 2012). Deanne K. Bird. Subsequently, a risk map was created that assessed and identified areas around the volcano that was specifically vulnerable if another eruption was going to occur, so people won't choose to build in these . In relation to the amalgamation and the timing of the 2006 evacuation exercise, one of the rescue team members from the 2010 interviews stated: The time for the evacuation exercises in 2006 was not logical because it had been decided that the police districts would be joined here in the south. In 2016, the number of tourists was 4.5 times the country's population. The lack of resources was also noted as an impeding factor in the South region.

Despite this, some appreciated the eruption for its sheer beauty and force. Bird, D.K., Gsladttir, G. Responding to volcanic eruptions in Iceland: from the small to the catastrophic. Given the complexities of risks associated with volcanic hazards in Icelande.g., jkulhlaups, lightning, poisonous gases, as well as ash fallit is critical that these are clearly communicated with sufficient detail to avoid confusion among new residents. Overall, respondents ranked impacts on their home as the greatest followed by impacts to them and / or their family emotionally and financially (Table 2). I would be anxious. The questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were comprehensive, taking 3045min and up to 2h and 36min to complete, respectively.

The reasons for not evacuating were due to caring for others or thinking the warnings were not applicable. Before the financial crash in 2008, Iceland had become too expensive for many visitorsevidenced by a somewhat steady decline in employment numbers within the tourism industry outside the capital region from 2000 (Fig. The 2016 interviews and the preparation of this paper were supported by the Nordic Centre of Excellence for Resilience and Societal SecurityNORDRESS, which is funded by the Nordic Societal Security Programme. Furthermore, earlier response plans were centred on a Katla eruption rather than a response to an Eyjafjallajkull eruption. 3)an observation that is supported by verbatim quotes presented in the previous sections. 2008, Sjberg, 2000, Weinstein, 1987), may be directly linked to residents predicting their future vulnerability based on their personal experience of the Eyjafjallajkull eruptions. We had rehearsals years before and meetings and talks and it was in the back of our minds that everyone needed to evacuate if told to do so (A-E). Its more like Hekla erupting. Households in Austur-Eyjafjll were required to evacuate due to jkulhlaup hazard during the flank and summit eruptions in Eyjafjallajkull. Each household was visited at least twice during the day. But an eruption does not worry us. This volcano eruption took place in Iceland. It already now counts as the largest on Iceland in over 100 years. 6.5 km (4 mi) Iceland: 6.6 Km ESE of Brarbunga.

The town was inundated completely, and no attempt has been made to restore or rebuild it ("Nevado del Ruiz Volcano," 2010). People talked about the possibility of Eyjafjallajkull [erupting], and we were light-hearted about it you know, saying wow, it can erupt. Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative, Humanities and Social Sciences Communications (Humanit Soc Sci Commun) Long-term responses . Considering future response in this region is important given Katla is renowned as one of Iceland's most dangerous volcanoes due to its potential to produce catastrophic jkulhlaup (>100,000. volume4, Articlenumber:151 (2018) Sci. This greater complexity will inevitably create greater challenges for the local police and DCPEM. If a volcanic eruption happens again, they will have better control over the entire air space. Haiti earthquake 2010. Cite this article. So called 'low' ash concentrations were deemed to be defined as <2-4 mg/m3. The lava flow from the Nyiragongo volcano flowed to the northeast of the city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). As evidenced by the results presented here and by Bird et al., (2018), compliance with evacuation orders can be attributed to: trust in the information source; recency of community meetings regarding a potential eruption (i.e., people were able to easily retrieve relevant information from memory); and, a strong desire to abide by social norms (normative beliefs). However, 14 households were unavailable during the interview and questionnaire dissemination period, which was conducted over 10 days in August 2010. We got away relatively well from ash fall and the jkulhlaup went only over grazing land and not cultivated land. Following the collapse of Icelands banking system in October 2008 (Danielsson, 2009), the region has experienced an increase in international migration (growth of 2.54 between 2009 and 2016), as well as that from the capital region (growth of 1.30 between 2011 and 2016), as shown in Fig. , taking 3045min and up to 2h and 36min to complete,.!
