Volcano, disasters & early warning
Guiding questions for group work:
• Where are the hotspots of volcano hazards in Colombia and what are possible consequences of these hazards?
• Are these hazards changing with ongoing impacts from climate change?
• How is Colombia responding to these hazards? (Government institutions, NGO’s, communities)
