International Volcanic Ashfall Impacts Working Group

The International Volcanic Ashfall Impacts Working Group (IVAIWG) was established in 2010 to investigate volcanic ashfall impact following volcanic eruptions.[1] The group's focus is on the hazards and cleanup of volcanic ashfall, with direct focus on cities on volcanoes. The Group performs the role of an advisory group which informs officials about volcanic ashfall and how to respond to such situations.[2] It holds meetings and workshops internationally. It is a part of the IAVCEI.
