Scope Recent disasters in the Asia-Pacific region highlight the importance of scientific research on geohazard information and risk management. Researches on risk reduction of earthquakes, tsunami and volcanic eruptions will be discussed in this session. We welcome topics on; (1) natural geohazard mitigation activities, (2) information reorganization on risk of earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic disasters, (3) international and national networks providing information and promoting cooperative research on geohazard, (4) international standards on data exchange and analytical methods, (5) resource and information sharing on geohazard, and (6) outreach programs.
