VHDL is an organisation, which takes it's part for clarification and the transmission of datas about volcanic hazards and risks. Concerning this, VHDL has set up different projects. VHDL is non commercial, neither a scientific institution. The terrible Tsunami on Dez. 2004 has shown, that desaster warnings can save lives. VHDL projects are an attempet to this subject (warning at volcanoes) to be worth to invest in. Please help! |
|
VHDL member work on volcanoes worldwide to study volcanic hazards and risks. Logistic research is frequently done to provide this knowledge to anyone visiting and planing to work at an active volcano. This knowledge can improve access to a site of field studies and may increase the safety for a project. |
Furthermost, film documentaries about volcanic hazards are produced to support evacuation and information campaigns. To show, what a volcano eruption can cause, certainly allerts the people living in hazardous areas around a volcano. This educational videos are offered to institutions and authorities worldwide. |
Projects at active volcanoes, such as evacuation campains, are initiated by VHDL to help with a variety of knowledges. For third-world-countries, the effort to provide effective help and clarification to those people living in hazardous areas around volcanoes can be a problem. That's where we can and should help. |

Why do people visit active volcanoes?
The life on earth has been partly created because of volcanic activity, there is no doubt about that. The earth's interior energy and resulting plate tectonics, as well as volcanic changes of the surface of our planet is continuing even today. The human desire to explore and to understand this fascinating natural phenomena just under our feet is a logical consequence. It's the same kind of fascination which humans keep for lightning or a beautiful sunset. |
