Abstract
Vulcano, one of the most touristic islands in the Aeolian archipelago (Sicily, Italy), has been the site of significant volcanic unrest started in 2021, which is still ongoing. Fortunately, the crisis peak occurred in winter, so the direct consequences on the population were moderate. However, the socio-psychological impact was relevant as people had recently emerged from the Covid pandemic.
Since the most recent eruption occurred in 1888–1890, Vulcano has been characterized by fumarolic activity at the crater and diffuse degassing from the ground in the surrounding areas, contributing to a perception of low risk by the inhabitants. For this reason, it has been difficult for civil protection authorities at different territorial levels to implement risk mitigation measures on the island. The Italian Civil Protection Department together with the other administrations involved managed the volcanic unrest on the island through a series of actions that are described in this data report, facing complex challenges, such as the gas hazard management in populated areas, and experimenting with new methodologies that can be exported to similar contexts in the future.
期刊介绍：
Bulletin of Volcanology was founded in 1922, as Bulletin Volcanologique, and is the official journal of the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior (IAVCEI). The Bulletin of Volcanology publishes papers on volcanoes, their products, their eruptive behavior, and their hazards. Papers aimed at understanding the deeper structure of volcanoes, and the evolution of magmatic systems using geochemical, petrological, and geophysical techniques are also published. Material is published in four sections: Review Articles; Research Articles; Short Scientific Communications; and a Forum that provides for discussion of controversial issues and for comment and reply on previously published Articles and Communications.
