The IAVCEI Commission on Volcanic Hazard and Risk has a working group dedicated to hazard mapping. The hazard mapping working group held its first workshop at COV8 (State of the Hazard Map 1), and the most recent at COV11 (State of the Hazard Map 4). We propose to host a meeting at the IAVCEI General Assembly in Rotorua. The workshop will continue the broad aims of the earlier meetings alongside some new initiatives, namely presenting and discussing a new hazard map database and stakeholder tool. The workshop will bring together people from around the world working on or with volcanic hazard maps, and will have three primary aims: 1) to openly discuss approaches and experiences regarding how hazard maps are interpreted and used by different groups; 2) to present and comment on a new online database of volcanic hazard maps and stakeholder tool; and 3) to discuss the new source book for volcanic hazard mapping. In line with previous working group events, a key philosophy of this workshop is that participants will be encouraged to bring their experience to the table for discussion, so that the workshop format will be more about exchange of knowledge rather than instruction about particular techniques. The workshop will take the form of short presentations followed by group discussions, and the day will be divided up based on the aims outlined above.
