Indonesia is at the same time one of the most populous (5th in the world after PR China, India, USSR, USA), and one of the most volcanic, areas in the world, lying as it does at the intersection of three major plates. (The Geological background has been covered by Dr. Barber's contribution).
Volcanic disaster and mitigation concern sany institution and its aspects with five principal elements and play such as) role volcanic crisis 1. Source of the crisis it self(the volcano) 2. Team of the Scientiste who study it 3. The administrative authorities 4. The Media 5. The population who live near by. In Indonesia the five elements of risk are coordinated by the government under sin…

The summit crater of Mt. Kelut, an andesitic volcano in East Java Indonesia, normally contains a lake with surface temperatures varying from 31 to 36 centigrade around inlet.
The The geophysical investigations of Mt. Kelud began to apply in 1978, initially with emphasis on geomagnetic survey. instrument used was the 595 Type Elsec Magnetometer with an accuracy of 18.
This Volcano is known as very dengerous, because its eruptions always caused victims and destroyed of arable land. The origin of the disaster because its has a crater lake on its summit, which is in ejected during each eruption.
Since the end of the 1982 - 1983 eruption of Galunggung volcano, west Java, a large and growing lake has formed within the 1982 - 1983 crater. The volume of this lake in July 1986 is approximately 6.1 million cubic meters of water. This water is accumulating at a rate of approximately 2.6 million cubic meters per year.
Volcanic hazards due to lahar flows were more devastating than those by volcanics strewn from Mt Galunggung; the products of the April, 1982 January, 1983 eruptions.t
Geohazard / Bencana alam sebagai fenomena alam tetapi sekaligus juga sebagai ancaman yang tidak dapat dihindari. Geohazard akan menjadi ancaman yang sangat menakutkan apabila tidak disiapkan sejak dini Upaya-upaya untuk mengurangi resiko terjadinya
The map that forms part of the cover of this booklet is an adapted, smaller version of a 1:10 million-scale map that has been produced separately to illustrate the pattern of natural-hazards potential. The region covered by the map is what we refer to in this booklet as the “Pasific Southwest”.
