Volcano Disaster Assistance Program Volcano hazards program find a u.s. volcano assess prepare forecast | activity products observatories about. Today the program responds to volcanic crises around the world. the aim of the program is to assist in saving lives and property, to reduce economic losses, and to prevent a natural hazard becoming a natural disaster.

Volcano Disaster Assistance Program Founded in 1986 following the 1985 nevado del ruiz (colombia) volcanic catastrophe wherein more than 23,000 people perished needlessly, vdap works by invitation to reduce volcanic risk, primarily in developing nations with substantial volcano hazards. The volcano disaster assistance program—helping to save lives worldwide for more than 30 years. u.s. geological survey fact sheet , 2017 3071, 6 p. doi:10.3133 fs20173071. The objective of vobp is to develop synergy among volcano hazards programs and their observatories internationally, so as to more rapidly and broadly advance the field of applied volcanology.
