Abstract
Volcanic disasters are characterized by complexity, a wide range of intensities, long duration, and rarity. Since volcanic eruptions are accompanied by the ejection of a large number of magma products, resilience to volcanic hazards is basically ensured by evacuation planning. Resilience with respect to volcanic ashfall can be increased by a quick response to its impacts. The traffic network is most severely affected by volcanic ashfall and dispersion. The removal of volcanic ash from the traffic network, particularly roads, is the first step in logistics recovery. Judgment of timing to start recovery is important in order to enhance resilience through rapid recovery and is ensured by monitoring of volcanic activity.
