The amount of active volcanic zones in continental Europe and outermost regions recommends Europe to be prepared against volcanic threat. The EVE project will promote actions focusing on supranational and cross border risk awareness and risk communication by facilitating the interaction and cooperation between scientists and Civil Protection Agencies (CPs) to timely anticipate to volcanic disasters. The main objective of EVE is to help European Civil Protections, to anticipate as early as possible to new volcanic eruptions, thus contributing to enhance their prevention and preparedness to reduce the impact of such hazards. EVE will help the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) given its role in disaster management and the Joint Research Centre (JRC), which is already the developer and manager of several Early Working Systems (EWS), upon request of the ERCC, as a main action to effectively contribute to the EU Disaster Rick Reduction (DRR) framework.
