Mt Eccles, Tower Hill and Mt Leura are three of the youngest eruptions in Victoria, and similar eruptions with maar craters, ash falls, scoria cones and long lava flows are possible.

A new risk and hazard map is the basis for a Web site which discusses hazards resulting from volcanic eruptions - damage and destruction, evacuation, diverting flows and controlling fires.

Introduction

• The volcanoes of Victoria - what, where & when?
• Brief history of their study
• What data do we have now?

Some details

• Volcanic risk and hazard, and a new map - a poster
• Geological heritage and raising awareness of risk - another poster

The Web

• Disasters on the Web - yet another poster!
• Some Web information available for Victoria's volcanoes - including two new sites developed by students, and a new database site to follow soon

Conclusion

• The Auckland NZ Web site - a parallel case
• The "Cities on Volcanoes" conference series - Naples, Auckland, Hawaii
• More on volcanic risk and hazard on the Web - overseas sites including Volcano World and its information on Australian in "Ask a Volcanologist"
